✓ Hyperfermentation – For thousands of years, fermentation has provided many crops with the means to transform food, increasing its nutritional value and facilitating its assimilation. This millennial know-how, typical of the Mediterranean area, combined with the latest biotechnologies, and in particular the Bioliquidation process, has led to the development of a new production process in which the phytocomplex naturally contained in the plant is enhanced by fermentation, transforming the inert mass in even more active ingredients.

✓ Distillation – An ancient method of extracting active ingredients from plants, and today – highly sophisticated. Most essential oils are produced by steam distillation, but a number of process variations can be used to produce other assets. It retains the characteristics of the extracted substance, so that its biological functions can be transferred to the cosmetic product in which it is used.

✓ Extraction – Plant extracts are liquid preparations obtained from fresh or dried medicinal plants by appropriate physical extraction processes; these include the use of appropriate solvents and the use of maceration or permeation or other appropriate procedures. To ensure proper recovery of the substances, the plants must be ground to an appropriate degree of fragmentation, while the choice of solvent depends on the type of active ingredients to be extracted.

✓ Hydrolysis – Plants contain a number of biologically active compounds with therapeutic potential. These compounds are either embedded in the cell wall matrix or bind to polymers in the cell cytoplasm, which hinders the release of bioactive compounds during extraction. Hydrolysis of cell wall and cytoplasmic polymers increases the release of biocompounds while preserving their biological potential.
