        Sustainability

        Sustainability is fundamental to who we are and what we do. It touches every area of our business: from the way we design our products and run our manufacturing sites, to the way we work with our suppliers and engage with our communities.

Plant Cell Culture - An Inexhaustible Source of Natural Metabolites

 

A plant, as an immobile organism, develops a collection of defence measures against predators and harmful environments. Using this property, it is possible to force a plant to synthesise a specific metabolite by mimicking a stress. Only a small amount of the plant (seed, leaf, ...) is needed to produce large quantities of the molecule of interest. To know more about this eco-designed production mode, watch the video!

Why?

Because, as a leader in cosmetic active ingredient manufacturing, we think that one of our main concern is sustainability, Sederma has chosen to develop Plant Cell Culture to produce molecules of interest in quantities without causing any damage to the environment.
