Vytrus Biotech

Our DNA

Our vision

Positioning as a pioneer in the use of this technology for business purposes gives Vytrus Biotech a solid foundation on which to build a sustainable competitive advantage. Through plant stem cell technology, it is possible to obtain natural, patentable, and efficient cosmetic actives.

Vytrus Biotech has a multidisciplinary team of more than 20 employees in its headquarters in Terrassa (Barcelona, Spain) and is present in Europe, USA, LATAM and Asia, among others, through its international network of distributors.

Our actives are thought from nature. We first observe natural plant processes and strategies, mimic their behaviour, and develop our personal care ingredients. In Vytrus Biotech we have discovered how to take advantage from the astonishing potential of plants and bring their abilities to skin, hair, and body care.

Latest launches

In this pandemic context, Vytrus Biotech launches Nectaria Lithops, a Cell Nectar for a D-Skin.

This active ingredient, made from plant stem cells, stimulates vitamin D production through the skin and represents a revolution in the wellageing and sun care market. Its mechanism of action consists of optimizing the skin microenvironment to enhance the Sun Vitamin synthesis and its reserves, even in those skins with less sun exposure sun, bringing a new concept: the ‘D-Skin’.

Vytrus Biotech has been double awarded with ‘Best Ingredient Award’ worldwide at In-cosmetics Global 2020 for its ingredients: Kannabia Sense and Deobiome Noni. Olea Vitae was also awarded in 2019 with In-cosmetics Global Gold Best Ingredient Award.

Nectaria Lithops is our latest innovation in the active ingredient market launched to the cosmetic industry.

This active is made from stem cells of Lithops, a plant expert in the management of water, space, and light in very extreme conditions. When applied to the skin significantly stimulates the synthesis of vitamin D by epidermal cells to strengthen, revitalize, volumize, and glow the faded skin, achieving the desired ‘D-Skin’.
