CMiLO derives its name from the Black Kites Lab — the global core laboratory of KITE & CO. , a premier bio-reparative skincare brand. Its story does not begin in a sterile lab, but in a wartime clandestine mission centered on skin defense.

1942–1945 · Code Name “09” Amidst the Smoke of War
Deep in the Alps, the underground level of an abandoned monastery was converted into a top-secret military installation — Code Name “09” . No names were spoken here, only the mission: to develop a “second skin” for Allied pilots — one that could adhere to burnt tissue, resist water and sweat, and block infrared detection.
Even then, the formula already contained a deep-sea biological extract of unknown origin, one that remains not fully decoded to this day. The doctors and chemists involved did not know when the war would end. But they understood this: if skin could survive under extreme conditions, the logic of its repair would rewrite the future of medicine.

1946–1980 · The Files That Were Taken
When the war ended, Code Name “09” was sealed and the team disbanded. Yet one chief chemist quietly took with him a portion of the research data on “accelerated cellular repair.”
He opened a modest clinic in Geneva, transforming military-grade anti-infection technology into post-surgical repair creams. There was no advertising — yet word spread among Hollywood stars, who found that it kept their skin flawless under the harsh glare of studio lights.
The lab deliberately erased all military codenames. Formula-X was renamed, given a gentle and elegant image in Latin. That was the prototype of CMiLO.

1990–Present · Skin Defense in an Era of Peace
Today, the CMiLO laboratory stands in a minimalist glass building on the outskirts of Geneva. Above ground: white coats and AI modeling. Three floors below: the original stone walls and handwritten archives remain.
The scientists here no longer work for war. But they have inherited the logic of “battlefield stress” — only now, the battlefield is the urban environment: air pollution, blue light, UV radiation, heat stress.
The foundation of the flagship “Timeless Essence” is the 72nd-generation refinement of that original high-stress repair formula developed for pilots. What has changed is this: today, they use AI to analyze the yellowed manuscripts — still trying, decades later, to reconstruct the golden ratio of those deep-sea extracts from half a century ago.

We speak not of sentiment, but of repair.
Yet every bottle of CMiLO conceals a file number that has never been declassified.
