Vine

The vine is one of the oldest known plants on Earth. Traces of this rustic shrub have been found dating back to prehistoric times. This explains why the vine is so closely linked to many civilizations' culture, food and trade and remains today a powerful symbol of happiness and friendship. Its pretty, delicate flowers bloom in June and give rise to a wonderful treasure, the grape. This mythical fruit is used to make wine, a drink long considered sacred and dedicated to the Gods and heroes. Clarins Laboratories have chosen an environmentally-friendly manufacturing process called cell culture to preserve the production of this flower, which is essential to the wine-making sector. This green biotechnology involves taking a cell from the plant and reproducing it in limitless quantities to obtain the desired plant extract.
