Our research and development goals
- select locally growing traditional and forgotten medicinal plants with potential for use in dermatology and cosmetics
- develop procedures for their sustainable production under good manufacturing practice
- optimize the gentle extraction of bioactive substances or fractions with the aim of maximizing biological activity
- identify bioactive substances and possible contaminants
- to verify biological effects, especially on wound healing, skin regeneration and support of the body's natural defenses
- connect doctors, pharmacists, botanists and biotechnologists with experts in phytotherapy, nutrition and healthy lifestyle
- to formulate the obtained active substances into the form of nano-micelles and liposomes using natural surfactants and thus increase their effectiveness
