Vytrus_Biotech_Kannabia_SenseVytrus Biotech has launched KANNABIA SENSEPLF, natural active ingredient made from Cannabis sativa plant stem cells. The new ingredient is preservative-free and represents a step forward in neuro-cosmetics.

Ingredient Interacts with Skin Microbiota’s


The active ingredient interacts with the skin microbiota’s postbiotic generation to modulate the skin neurochemical networks and enhance the feeling of comfort and self-confidence through the Microbiota-Skin-Brain Axis (MSBA).

The company believes that the product will revolutionize the neuro-cosmetics sector because KANNABIA SENSEPLF plays a key role in activating the brain through the skin. The ingredient activates some brain areas, such as oxytocin, the hormone of happiness, among others.

Our team is very excited and satisfied with the achievement since it is a very special ingredient, that we could even talk about a sensory ingredient,” said Òscar Expósito, CEO, CSO and co-founder of Vytrus Biotech.

Active Ingredient is Free of CBD and THC


This composition of active ingredient is free of the cannabinoids Cannabidiol (CBD) and Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). KANNABIA SENSEPLF has been developed using an innovative Phyto-Lipidic Fractions technology based on a process designed to enrich cell culture in signaling lipids that activate the Microbiota-Skin-Brain axis (MSBA).

The mechanism of action of the active consists of stimulating the skin microbiota so that its bacteria, in a natural way, produce a postbiotic cocktail that stimulates the synthesis of cutaneous oxytocin that ignites a systemic well-being response that results in a healthier and stronger appearance of the skin.

The biotechnology company has carried out numerous clinical assays to demonstrate the effectiveness of the active ingredient in small doses. The topical lotion with 2 percent of KANNABIA SENSEPLF was applied on the volunteers and the areas of the brain related to pleasure were activated within 15 minutes of application. At higher dose, more positive effects were seen after 28 days following the same brain activation pattern produced by chocolate.

KANNABIA SENSEPLF has multiple benefits: activates the brain areas related to pleasure, induces a better self-perception and improves the skin characteristics associated with aging, health, youth and greater physical attractiveness (hydration, wrinkle reduction and skin radiance).
