 FAQs

  • Plant cell culture is a process where plant cells are grown in a lab environment, without soil. By cultivating only the cells needed for valuable compounds, we can produce ingredients more efficiently and sustainably.

  • Unlike whole plants, cultured plant cells grow in nutrient solutions under controlled conditions. This eliminates the need for soil, pesticides, and large water use, allowing for faster, cleaner, and more environmentally friendly production.

  • Plant cell culture allows us to grow just the cells that make the products we care about. It reduces the need for land, water, and pesticides, making it a more sustainable option for producing high-quality ingredients.

  • Our cell-cultured Aloe vera is free of harmful toxins, ensuring a safe, pure product with enhanced bioactive properties. This method also allows us to maintain consistency and high quality, which is harder to achieve with traditionally grown Aloe.
