The full native profile
Saponins, polysaccharides, phenolic acids, phytosterols and peptides, in the proportions the plant produced them. No fraction removed, no fraction concentrated.
Nativome by Botalys
A Nativome is the complete native profile of a medicinal plant, preserved as the plant produced it. Not an extract. Not a fraction. Not a single molecule pulled out and titrated while the rest is discarded.
The cost of processing
Every step away from the plant costs something
Drying, steaming, solvent extraction and reconstitution are not neutral operations. In Panax ginseng, steaming converts the polar ginsenosides into deglycosylated forms and generates Maillard reaction products that are absent from fresh root entirely. Solvent extraction selects a fraction and leaves the rest behind. Standardization to a single marker makes that fraction measurable, and makes everything else invisible.
None of this is a failure. It is a trade the industry has made for a century, because there was no alternative. A fresh root could not be turned into a stable, safe cosmetic ingredient.
The precondition
You cannot press a root that came out of soil
A field-grown root carries its field. Soil microbiology, environmental residues, whatever that season happened to deliver. It has to be dried or extracted, because that is what makes it stable and safe to use.
Aseptic cultivation removes the reason. Our plants grow in sealed cleanrooms, in an engineered biotope, without soil, without pesticides, without heavy metals. The root arrives clean enough to be pressed exactly as it is.
The process is not a purity claim. It is what makes the fresh route possible at all.
What stays in
Extracellular vesicles
Native to the pressed juice, not isolated and not added back. Measured by nanoparticle tracking analysis at more than 1×109 particles/mL.
Stabilized, not fractionated
Most botanical actives are an extracted fraction, rebuilt in a carrier. This is the pressed root itself, stabilized for shelf life and formulation use with glycerin, pentylene glycol, xanthan gum and phytic acid at pH 3.5. Nothing is pulled out of the plant profile, and nothing is concentrated back in.
Consistency by design
A controlled biotope produces a controlled composition. Titration on every batch verifies that composition. It does not create it.
From root to active
-
Aseptic growing
Sealed cleanroom, engineered biotope, no soil, no pesticides, no heavy metals.
-
Fresh harvest
Root pressed within hours. Never dried, never steamed.
-
Cold pressing
No heat, no solvent. The native matrix stays intact.
-
Clarification
Sterile filtration that leaves the extracellular vesicles intact.
-
Standardization
HPLC titration, batch to batch, verified before release.
Across the entire chain
- No drying
- No heat
- No solvent
- No reconstitution
What it gives you
A story that cannot be sourced elsewhere
For the formulator
One water-soluble ingredient, dosed between 1 and 3%. Stabilized for shelf life with no propylene glycol. Full technical documentation, sample on request.
For the brand
Cold-pressed juice from an aseptically grown rare medicinal root is not a specification a competitor can beat with a better extract. It is a different category of material, and the narrative survives a claim review, because it describes a process rather than a promise.
