San Jose, California — October 14, 2025 — Leads & Copy — Codex Labs, a Silicon Valley skintech company, has launched KĀNGFÙ Cooling Recovery Gel, a skin-recovery product designed to restore and soothe skin damaged by UV radiation, phototherapy, or laser treatments. The gel helps to synergistically hydrate, reduce redness, and maintain skin barrier integrity by supporting its natural antioxidant enzymes.
The Kāngfù collection harnesses bio-actives from Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) plants, clinically tested using gene expression panels and in-situ studies examining erythema and cutaneous antioxidant enzymes.
KĀNGFÙ Cooling Recovery Gel leverages the patent-pending KāngfùComplex®, a blend of plant-biotech cell extracts from terrestrial and marine sources, addressing skin’s antioxidant defenses, free radical damage, extracellular matrix remodeling and redness (erythema).
According to Dr. Barbara Paldus, CEO and Founder, Codex Labs, the new KĀNGFÙ collection allows the company to address skin and barrier restoration after UV exposure, photo-therapy, or cosmetic laser procedures, expanding the portfolio to those undergoing photo-therapy for eczema or psoriasis, laser therapy for acne, or anyone suffering from a bad sunburn or intense aesthetic intervention.
In clinical trials, subjects being irradiated with a UV lamp at 1.5 times their minimal erythema dose (MED) experienced improvements including a 34% decrease in erythema in 68% of subjects, a 14% increase in hydration in 90% of subjects, no change in trans-epidermal water loss, and a 71% (58%) increase in Catalase (SOD) antioxidant enzyme activity.
KĀNGFÙ Cooling Recovery Gel is vegan, cruelty-free, and MyMicrobiome-certified and may be used with the Antü Skin Barrier Support Supplement.
All Codex products are manufactured in high-tech GMP facilities, contain sustainably optimized ingredients and are filled in renewable, sugarcane green PE tubes to reduce carbon footprint by over 50%.
