Exosome range

Plant exosomes: what they are and why they matter in cosmetics

They are one of the most promising actives in cosmetics today. We explain where they come from, what they do in our formulas and how they are used, in the clinic or at home.

What is an exosome?

Cells release tiny, nanometre-sized vesicles that they use to communicate with each other. These are exosomes. Inside, they carry lipids, proteins and other molecules from the cell they come from.

Plant exosomes are obtained from plants. In our range they come from centella asiatica, turmeric, pomegranate and Sarcocapnos crassifolia.

Why they matter in cosmetics

01

Very small

Their size and their lipid membrane, similar to that of our own cells, mean they are being studied as a way of delivering actives to the skin.

02

The best of the plant

They carry molecules from the plant they come from, so each exosome brings something different to the formula.

03

Plant-derived

They do not come from human or animal cells. They are obtained from plants.

Research on plant exosomes is recent and still advancing. The results are promising, although not all their effects have been studied to the same extent.

Two ways to use them

Frequently asked questions

Are exosomes stem cells?

No. Exosomes are vesicles released by cells, not cells themselves. In this range, they are also plant-derived.

Are they of human or animal origin?

No. All the exosomes in the range are obtained from plants.

Can I use them at home?

Yes, with the Home Care range: Exoglow Repair for the face and Exosculpt Siluette for the body. They are applied directly to the skin, without any device. The Exoactive range is for professional, in-clinic use.

Are they a medicine?

No. They are cosmetics: they care for the appearance of the skin, but they do not treat diseases. If you have a skin condition, consult your doctor or dermatologist.
