ReCutan 3D – Regenerative skincare

THE CODE OF REGENERATION

Where plant biology meets space technology.

At the heart of ReCutan™ 3D are active plant cells derived from the callus of Camellia sinensis. Cultivating them in a three-dimensional suspension system based on NASA RCCS technology produces bioactive metabolites and biological signals that can support the skin's natural regeneration processes.

A combination of nature, cell biology and modern cultivation technology.

SKIN AS A LIVING SYSTEM

Regeneration begins where cells respond to their environment.

This is precisely where the ReCutan™ concept comes into play: in the biological environment in which plant cells are cultivated and in the metabolites that are produced during this process. The aim is not simply another plant extract, but a bioactive complex of active ingredients produced under controlled conditions.

WHY 3D?

Three principles define ReCutan™ 3D.

01

Biomimetic

The cultivation environment is modelled on biological conditions, thereby supporting cell communication that is as natural as possible.

02

Three-dimensional

The active ingredient is not produced as a simple plant extract, but from a three-dimensional bioactive suspension in specialised RCCS bioreactors.

03

Bioinformative

During cultivation, the plant cells produce metabolites that shape the characteristic active ingredient complex of ReCutan™ 3D.

Plant culture in the laboratory

THE PLANT-BASED FOUNDATION

Camellia sinensis: more than green tea.

The Camellia sinensis var. sinensis used is rich in catechins such as EGCG and ECG, as well as polyphenols and flavonoids. In cell culture, it is characterised by good stability and the consistent production of bioactive metabolites.

The callus used is undifferentiated plant tissue with a high degree of cellular plasticity. It is precisely this characteristic that makes it particularly interesting for controlled cultivation processes.

  • high cellular plasticity
  • strong production of bioactive metabolites
  • stable epigenetic properties
  • controllable cultivation conditions

NASA RCCS TECHNOLOGY

Microgravity as a unique cultivation environment.

ReCutan™ 3D uses the principle of the NASA RCCS – Rotary Cell Culture System. These bioreactors were developed at NASA Johnson Space Center to study three-dimensional cell cultures under simulated microgravity conditions.

CELLULAR RESILIENCE

Resilience begins at the cellular level.

Cellular resilience describes the ability of cells to withstand stress, maintain their stability and recover after stress. Within the ReCutan™ concept, the focus is on oxidative stress, epigenetic stability and biochemical communication.

Key focus

  • epigenetic effect
  • protection against oxidative stress
  • support for the extracellular matrix
  • physiological regeneration
  • bioinformative cell communication

For the appearance of the skin

  • greater radiance
  • more even appearance
  • skin that appears more compact
  • fewer signs of environmentally induced stress
  • support for sensitive or stressed skin
