Pharmacognosy is the study of natural substances, like plants, fungi, and marine organisms, that are used to create medicines and other health-related products. It explores how these natural materials have been traditionally used in healing and combines that knowledge with modern science to discover new treatments. Think of it as uncovering the secrets in nature’s toolbox to improve our health and well-being. From aspirin derived from willow bark to skincare ingredients sourced from plants, pharmacognosy bridges ancient remedies and modern medicine.

Interviewing Simon

My research has identified bioactive compounds from traditional medicinal plants with dual functionality. One key discovery showed potent cytotoxic effects on cancer cell lines, while also promoting fibroblast growth, which could benefit the cosmetic industry by enhancing collagen synthesis for skin health and rejuvenation. This work highlights the versatility of natural compounds for various applications.

We are expanding our product portfolio by adding 100 species over the next decade to our 500-species scientific garden. This aligns with our brand's vision of using botanical science to create sustainable, high performance cosmetic ingredients. By studying these plants, we optimize cultivation, explore bioactive properties, and develop innovative formulations. This initiative supports biodiversity, responsible sourcing, and environmental protection while offering nature-based solutions for beauty and wellness.
