Sustainability at the Core

We convert farm wildflowers and botanicals into valuable biotech ingredients rather than waste, supporting: Circular production models, Responsible sourcing and Long-term environmental sustainability

CloverCell®

CloverCell® is a biotechnology-enabled red clover extract developed by BioClover and grown, harvested, and processed in Ireland. It is designed for cosmetic formulations focused on skin barrier repair, protection, and long-term skin comfort. CloverCell® supports healthy skin function across sensitive, normal, and ageing skin, particularly skin exposed to daily environmental and lifestyle stress.

Origin & Traceability

CloverCell® is derived from Trifolium pratense (red clover) grown on an Irish farm. BioClover controls the full lifecycle of the ingredient, from cultivation through extraction and evaluation, ensuring traceability and consistency.

Development follows a circular approach, with plant material fully utilised and residual biomass returned to agricultural systems where appropriate.
