When a plant has demonstrated bioactivity in humans, it is typical among pharmaceutical companies to attribute that efficacy to a single constituent, isolate it, synthesize it and in some cases alter it to create a unique molecule that can be patented. This process allows for standardization and profitability and thus has gained popularity in the medical and cosmetic industries. 

Cell extracts offer sophisticated natural formulators an alternative to petrochemical derivatives. polymerization and chemical synthesis. Obtained through various processes that break open the cells and isolate their contents,these extracts can include a wide range of bioactive substances such as proteins, enzymes, lipids, nucleic acids, and other small molecules with potent regenerative potential. Some examples of LINNÉ cell extracts include enzyme isolated carrot cells in RENEW, and bio-engineered sequoia cell culture in our NOURISH lip balm.
