Supports the development of cosmetic active ingredients for skin and hair care
Exopeptides™ is Vytrus’ proprietary technology focused on the characterization and use of natural plant exosomes enriched with bioactive peptide profiles. This scientific platform supports the development of cosmetic active ingredients for skin and hair care, combining biological and clinical efficacy with a natural and sustainable approach.
Through its research into plant exosomes — tiny extracellular vesicles that transfer biological information — Vytrus has identified a rich diversity of plant-derived peptides inside natural exosomes. These molecular communicators have shown benefits in well-aging, anti-inflammatory action, and skin and hair regeneration.
This technology is already present in three of Vytrus’ active ingredients:
- Clarivine™ - A skin longevity booster with unique fasting-mimicking mechanisms on the skin
- Centella Reversa™ - A skin rejuvenating active that helps reverse cellular senescence
- Capilia Longa™ - A hair-density supporting ingredient for hair, eyebrows and lashes

According to Dr. Òscar Expósito, CEO, CSO and co-founder at Vytrus Biotech, “Exopeptides™ represents more than a trademark. It encapsulates our scientific rigor in decoding plant exosome biology for cosmetic innovation. With this technology, we are enabling cosmetic manufacturers and brands worldwide to harness nature’s own communication systems for healthier, more resilient skin and hair.”
The trademarking of Exopeptides™ is part of Vytrus’ broader intellectual property strategy, which also includes patent grants protecting key active ingredients and methodologies.
Award-winning biotech active ingredients
Vytrus Biotech’s innovation has been recognized at several industry awards, including the Innovation Zone Best Ingredient Award for Clarivine™ at in-cosmetics Global, and distinctions for Centella Reversa™ and Capilia Longa™ at the BSB Innovation Awards.
The company reports with a portfolio of certified natural actives, multiple patents, and more than 32 international awards to date.
