When a plant demonstrates bioactivity in humans, pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries often isolate a single active compound, synthesize it, and modify it to create a patentable molecule. While this approach allows for standardization and profitability, it overlooks the complexity and synergy of whole-plant constituents that contribute to its full therapeutic potential.

Cell extracts provide a sophisticated alternative to petrochemical derivatives, polymerization, and synthetic compounds. These extracts are obtained through advanced processes that break open plant cells, preserving and isolating their bioactive components—such as proteins, enzymes, lipids, nucleic acids, and other regenerative compounds. At LINNÉ, we harness these advanced extraction methods to deliver potent, bioavailable nutrients directly to the skin. Our enzyme-isolated carrot cells in RENEW enhance cellular rejuvenation, while our bio-engineered sequoia cell culture in NOURISH lip balm provides deep hydration and barrier support. These innovations allow us to maintain the integrity of nature’s intelligence while optimizing its performance for modern skincare.
