Career edit

Candrawinata undertook a research project with The University of Newcastle from 2011 to 2014 to determine the possibility of extracting and activating Phenolics contained within fruit produce. Through a process involving only water, he invented the scientific method of doing that which resulted in the creation of Activated Phenolics. The produce used involved apples.[3][4][5][6][7]

In October 2016, he was awarded the Young Alumni Award by The University of Newcastle.[8][9][10]

Renovatio Bioscience edit

In 2015, he patented the process and founded Renovatio Bioscience to commercialize the scientific invention and created products under the brand Activated Phenolics.[11] The firm is based in Sydney. In 2017, the firm launched a skin cream containing activated phenolics called APSKIN. In 2020 the company launched additional products which are stocked in Woolworths.[12]
