After two years of collaborative research with the University of Bordeaux, Naolys, the French expert in plant cell biotechnology, unveils ExoCell: a breakthrough innovation that enables formulators and brands to customize plant-derived exosomes

At the intersection of biomimicry and cellular science, ExoCell® harnesses nano-sized extracellular vesicles (exosomes), naturally secreted by plant cells to replicate the skin’s natural intelligence.

With ExoCell®, Naolys opens a new pathway where plant-derived biological exosomes can help support the skin’s natural functions. One cell at a time.

Tailored innovation rooted in advanced plant science

Built on Naolys’ proprietary cell culture platform, ExoCell® offers brands the possibility to co-develop bespoke active ingredients derived from selected plant exosomes, combining efficacy, sustainability and natural origin.
 
Developed under controlled and eco-responsible conditions, each ExoCell® active delivers a highly pure, traceable ingredient. This next-generation platform empowers formulators to design innovative, clean, and differentiated skincare solutions.

Aethelis Granata: the debut active from the ExoCell® collection

The inaugural reference, Aethelis Granata, is based on pomegranate exosomes. It focuses on skin regeneration and hydration, with a specific action on epigenetic pathways related to SUMOylation.

Tested at low concentration, Aethelis Granata has revealed compelling results on hydration and skin quality, supported by significant clinical data versus placebo, available on demand.

With ExoCell®, Naolys introduces a new dimension in botanical biotechnology, empowering brands to shape the future of regenerative and conscious skincare.

Design your own exosome.
