Mechanism of action

Triggering cell revival
Re-charging your internal cell bateries
Powerful revitalizer of mature skin
Mitochondrial membrante remodeling

The concept

Ageing affects our cellular energy levels. Like batteries, cells have a programmed obsolescence intimately linked to our skin vitality, which causes Energetic Aging.

Mitochondria generate our cell energy especially when they are fused, but with age, as well as other factors such as lack of sleep, stress etc., there is a decrease in the mitochondria biogenesis and their capacity to communicate with each other establishing mitochondrial synapses. Old cells, harbouring less mitochondria and a poor communication network, present lower ability to generate enough energy to maintain their vitality.

The plant

OLEA VITAE ™ is made from plant stem cells of the wild olive tree sprouts (Olea europaea var. silvestris) through the technology of Plant Cell Biofactories. Olive trees are characterized for their resilience against drought and high temperatures, their vitality and their longevity. Specifically, the wild olive tree has been chosen because it maintains more genetic diversity.

Activation of cell metabolism
Antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activity

The concept

It consists of is a skin remodeling system that helps reduce fat while taking advantage of intercellular energy to tighten and firm the issue. The skin acquires a younger and firmer aspect from the ‘inside’.

The plant

Sarcocapnos crassifolia is an endemic small plant found in the south of the Iberian Peninsula, very rare and unknown. It inhabits fissures in rocks up to 2,100m in height, and it is known as the ‘Rockbreaker’ because it is the first to colonize the naked rocks, being an extremophile plant: it has a high resistance to heat, cold and drought. Since it is a plant close to extinction, the only possibility to work with it is through plant cell cultures. Sarcocapnos has a unique metabolic profile and Vytrus has found the way to use this plant power to create a new skin remodeling system.

Plants use this fat burning (mobilization) signals under specific conditions (when seeds have to germinate, or also for storage on leaved when there is a lack of water under dry conditions). Vytrus applies this mechanism of action to cosmetics.

QUORA NONI™ is an active from plant stem cells to avoid the attack of skin harmful bacteria. It respectfully inhibits virulent biofilm formation to treat acne-prone skin, achiving microbiota rebalance and perfecting the skin surface.

recognitions and Cetificates

Mechanism of action

Anti-Quorum Sensing effect
Broad spectrum bacteriostatic & fungistatic effect
Protection & rebalance of the skin microbiota
Anti-inflammatory and no biocide action

The concept

The bacteria communication system (virulence) happens because bacteria speak with each other using signals (Quormones), forming biofilms. Plants are constantly attacked by microorganisms and they have developed several strategies to block and hack these communication signals, avoiding their organization into the virulent biofilm forms by doing a real biochemical war. They have designed a genuine and smart system to fight against microbial communication called Quorum Quenching that uses Anti-Quormones molecules.

Vytrus Biotech has created a natural active that uses these plant Anti-Quorum Sensing signals, disarming the bacteria by hacking their communication systems, just like plants do, and rebalancing the skin microbiota.

The plant

QUORA NONI™ is made from plant stem cells of Morinda citrifolia, known as the Noni plant, a native species from Southeast Asia (Indonesia) and Australia.

With more than 150 actives described, the Noni plant is used in more than 40 types of ailments worldwide, antitumor, anthelminthic, analgesic and anti-inflammatory, immuno-stimulant, several skin diseases, urinary tract disorders, fever, etc.

TURMERIA ZEN™ is a natural active with great regenerating properties to fight the harmful effects of stress on the skin. It improves skin hydration and wrinkles on stressed profiles thanks to the capacities of the Turmeric plant

recognitions and Cetificates

Mechanism of action

Neutralization of stress-related inflammation
High wound healing properties and anti-stress wrinkle efficacy
Highly skin hydration effect
Dermal structure & cutaneous function protection

The concept

Our emotions have a direct effect on our skin. Stress, tiredness or lack of sleep can cause several problems: our immune system is disturbed, making the skin more vulnerable and causing inflammation and dehydration; more wrinkles appear while the existing ones become deeper. There is a loss of elasticity, a delay in wound healing, damage to skin structure and a decrease in barrier function.

Stress has an impact on skin and general appearance that goes from dryness or wrinkles to more serious skin conditions. Vytrus has developed an active that works on the harmful effects of stress on the skin and improve skin health in stressed profiles.

The plant

The Turmeric (Curcuma longa) is a tropical and subtropical plant characterized by the existence of very ramified, cylindrical and orange rhizomes, modified roots that act as storage and resistance organs. They grow endlessly and have excellent regenerative properties.

Curcuma longa is one of the most studied plants in biomedicine, having a huge potential, with more than 230 different compounds described, more than 400 pre-clinic assays and more than 3.000 publications sowing its multiple properties (anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory, wound healing, antimicrobial, DNA protecting, etc.).

The concept

Nowadays, people look for ageing gracefully, not to stop aging. Skin aging does not spare anyone. It is a global phenomenon that depends on several factors and it is caused because of an accumulation of skin damages from all our lives and our intrinsic ability to deal with them.

There is a need of a global approximation to deal with this individualized aging signs, which is now a concern for our lives. Vytrus has found a plant strategy that reverse the cell senescence and rebuilds the core skin structure.

The plant

Originally from Asia, Centella asiatica is a little herb from wet zones characterized by its excellent regenerative properties and longevity. It presents a growth by stolons that can be maintained indefinitely.

Traditionally used on the Ayurvedic medicine and rich in centellosides (asiaticoside, madecassoside, etc.), this plant has been used during centuries due to its wound healing, anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory and adaptogenic properties, among others.

The concept

Nowadays, sensitive skin problems are an increasing global concern. People feel their skin is sensitive and to a great extent it is due to live in industrialized countries.

The plant

Orange carrots (Daucus carota sativa) have gained popularity in the recent decades due to the increased awareness of their nutritional value, because of their content in carotenes and as a source of vitamin A, as well as phenolic and flavonoid antioxidant compounds.

It has been showed in a great number of studies that the characteristics and composition of the carrot show interesting properties for the treatment of sensitive skin conditions.

Modulation of inflammatory response in Human Epidermal Progenitor Cells

The concept

Photoinduced aging or photoaging is the result of an accumulation of damage (photo damage) that modifies the cutaneous appearance to a greater or lesser extent.

The most recent trend in photoprotection is to study the existence of a complementary process, whereby the natural photobiological compounds (ARABIAN COTTON™) would show the ability to act on the photodynamic targets (as secondary filters), protecting the cell metabolism and inhibiting inflammatory and degenerative processes whose result is known as photoinduced aging.

The plant

Gossypium herbaceum, the Arabian Cotton, is an extremophile native plant from semi-arid regions of sub Saharan Africa and Arabia.

Due to the hard environmental conditions, Arabian Cotton has developed a great diversity of defensive molecules (phenols and flavonoids) that help the plant cell to protect and repair its structures against sun damage.
