Manufacturing for the future, without burdening the present
Active cosmetic ingredients from plant stem cell technology!
Introducing our newest partner, Alternative Plants! Based in Latvia, they specialise in active cosmetic ingredients from plant stem cells. Their innovative process allows extraction of valuable natural molecules using only small samples from wild plants.
They devote their time, ideas and expertise to establish cell cultures from nordic medicinal plants, extracting bioactive ingredients and characterising their biological activities. Plant biotechnology is the key to manufacture botanical ingredients more efficiently in an environmentally friendly way.
Their manufacturing process means:
- No land exploitation
- No burden on biodiversty
- Less water used
- Less waste generated
- No solvents
- Less energy required
The full range of plant stem cell actives are:
