Phyture Biotech is specialised in the development and production of Plant Cell Cultures for dermocosmetic applications. Susana Martínez highlights the properties and benefits of this efficient and eco-sustainable technology to producing high value added active ingredients on a production scale.
The technology of plant cell cultures, known as plant Stem Cells, allows Phyture Biotech to obtain in each development the advantages of molecular synergy and the subsequent acquirement of whole plant extracts (with the entire cellular content), not wasting any fraction of active compounds as it occurs with traditional plant extracts.
Through a designed process of cellular reprogramming, small amounts of Stem Cells are obtained from parts of healthy plant tissue. Plant Stem Cells have an enormous regenerative capacity and a strong ability to produce bioactive substances which display excellent properties to produce high-value innovative active ingredients on an industrial scale.
Through this technology, the amount of biomass can be increased exponentially, and at the same time the production level of the active ingredients of interest can be significantly risen to industrially viable levels.
Plant Molecular Synergy
The new way to take advantage of the real power of plants.
Plant Stem Cells contain and produce a large quantity of proactive essential substances, such as amino acids, lipids, carbohydrates, minerals and anti oxidants that perform in a synergistic way along with the dermocosmetic active principles of interest, they contribute to a better effectiveness of the product and to strengthen cosmetic activity.
Competitive Advantages of the Technology
- Natural product with improved properties faced to traditional extracts
- Able to design unique taylor made extracts.
- Unlimited supply and controlled production conditions:
- Constant production flow of active ingredient
- Independent from external factors (weather, geopolitics…)
- Stable quality and aseptic compliance
- High efficacy potential
- Standardization of batches
Eco-Sustainable approach
- Able to exploit rare plants
- Close to extinction
- Endemism
- Geopolitical issues
- Scarce bioactive yields from the plant
- Minimal impact to the ecosystems
- Only a few seeds or few plants are needed once in the process
- Independence from the natural resources
- Drastic reduction of water use
- No use of arable soil: a crop in a bioreactor
- No use of solvents – no extraction process
- Negligible wastes - everything is used
Highly Certifiable products
- No GMO
- Pesticides and herbicides free
- Heavy metals free
- VOC free
- BSE and CMR free
- No aflatoxins
- 100% vegetable
- Significant reduction Carbon Footprint
Innovating using Plant Cell Technology: An eco-sustainable tool for obtaining a new generation of plant extracts with high added value for its application in dermocosmetics.
