Plant native cells are whole plant cells composed of natural elements. Rich in essential amino acids, vitamins, and minerals, they possess a high molecular richness that provides them with a complementary action against other plant extracts (vegetable oils and essential oils). Harvested in a localized manner from the plant, they are then stimulated to synthesize the active principles and multiplied according to an environmentally friendly and biodiversity-respecting biotechnological process.
