✓ Stem cell extraction – The use of plant stem cells to create new active ingredients has a number of advantages over the more commonly used methods of obtaining plant extracts – fresh material is constantly available, which no longer depends on the season or environmental conditions; easy standardization, as each batch of product is of the same high quality and yield; the extracted compounds are safe and clean, as the cells are grown under sterile and controlled conditions, thus there is no risk of pathogens or environmental pollution; no agricultural land is exploited, less water consumption and less waste. Another advantage is flexibility: cells can be induced to produce higher levels of specific compounds of interest. Finally, in most cases, the extraction process is easier and does not take much time.

✓ Hyperfermentation – For thousands of years, fermentation has provided many crops with the means to transform food, increasing its nutritional value and facilitating its absorption. 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.

✓ 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.

✓ 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.
