Production and ecology

Why plant cell culture is not certified organic, but is still respectful of nature?

 

Our active ingredients derived from plant cell culture cannot be certified organic because they do not grow in soil.

 

Sustainable biotech

This production process, although non-agricultural, nevertheless offers major ecological advantages:

 

Reduced use of natural resources: cell culture uses less water and does not require farmland

 

Preservation of biodiversity: avoids excessive harvesting of plants in their natural habitats

 

No use of pesticides or fertilisers: minimises the impact of chemicals on the environment

Sustainable production: allows cells to multiply continuously without being dependent on seasonality or climatic conditions

 

Reduced waste: less waste generated compared to traditional farming methods

 

Reduced carbon footprint: local and laboratory production reduces the transport and logistics requirements associated with farming

Our biotechnology uses much less water than conventional agriculture.

By way of comparison, 12,000 litres of water are needed to obtain 1 kg of rose essential oil during a distillation process, whereas 1.25 litres of water are needed to produce 1 kg of Naolys rose active.

 

Safe for the health

In addition to being environmentally friendly, our production process prioritizes the health of the end consumer by using non-GMO plant species, avoiding preservatives and solvents, and adhering to strict safety testing protocols.
