Plants have evolved over millions of years to develop highly efficient, synergistic relationships between multiple compounds to sustain their survival. This evolutionary wisdom is what makes plant-based skincare so powerful. At LINNÉ, we respect this natural intelligence and prioritize full-spectrum plant medicine over synthetic standardizations. By utilizing advanced yet sustainable extraction methods, we ensure our ingredients maintain their bioavailability, allowing our formulations to effectively yet gently support skin health at the cellular level.

Whole-Plant Extraction vs. Isolated Compounds

While many skincare brands isolate single active compounds, LINNÉ embraces a more holistic approach—one that mirrors the way plants naturally function. Whole-plant extraction preserves the complex biochemical network within each botanical ingredient, enabling a more comprehensive and biologically recognizable delivery of nutrients to the skin. This ensures not just one, but multiple beneficial pathways are activated for optimal skin health.

Because each plant harvest is unique, LINNÉ formulations can be compared to a natural wine—slight variations from batch to batch reflect the natural variability of the ingredients. However, through rigorous testing and safety documentation, we maintain consistent nutrient levels, ensuring reliable results in every product.

Innovative Plant Extraction with Biotechnology

To push the boundaries of plant-based efficacy, we collaborate with leading ingredient suppliers such as Naolys, a pioneer in plant cell culture biotechnology. Naolys’ proprietary methods cultivate active plant cells in controlled environments, enabling us to harness bioactive compounds at peak potency while minimizing environmental impact. Their highly sustainable production process has been validated through in vitro and in vivo testing, demonstrating benefits such as:

• Anti-aging – Stimulating collagen synthesis and protecting against oxidative stress.
• Skin Brightening – Regulating melanin production for a more even complexion.
• Barrier Protection – Strengthening the skin’s resilience against environmental aggressors.
• Calming & Clarity – Reducing inflammation and supporting a balanced microbiome.
• Deep Hydration – Enhancing moisture retention for long-term skin vitality.

Naolys’ Atelier Cellulaire technology allows for the precise cultivation of plant cells tailored to cosmetic applications, ensuring maximum efficacy while preserving the integrity of each botanical source.

The Enzymatic Extraction of Carrot Cells in RENEW

One of our favorite examples of plant extraction is the enzymatic process used to create fresh carrot cell extract—a key ingredient in our RENEW Face Serum. In this process, enzymes gently break down the cellular walls binding carrot cells together, allowing individual, intact cells to be suspended in a liquid solution. These cells remain whole until applied to the skin, where natural enzymatic activity dissolves the final barriers, releasing a full spectrum of bioavailable nutrients.

This innovative method enhances stability, potency, and penetration, ensuring the skin receives the complete benefits of carrot-derived antioxidants, vitamins, and phytonutrients precisely when and where they are needed.

The Future of Plant-Based Innovation at LINNÉ

As we continue exploring the intersection of plant intelligence and cutting-edge science, biotechnology will play an increasingly important role in our formulations. Our commitment to sustainable, full-spectrum extraction ensures that every LINNÉ product harnesses the complete power of nature—without compromise.

Stay tuned as we continue to push the boundaries of botanical skincare, integrating the latest advancements in plant cell technology to deliver results-driven, bioavailable, and skin-optimizing formulations.
