BioClover

Not all plant extracts are created equal. Walk into any cosmetics supplier and you’ll find shelves of botanical ingredients — lavender oil, green tea extract, aloe vera — but very few of them come with clinical data to back up their claims. CloverCell® is different, and here’s why.

From farm to formula — with full traceability

CloverCell® is derived from Trifolium pratense (red clover), grown right here on our family farm in Ballinvuskig West, Mallow, Co. Cork. Every batch follows a circular production model: cultivation, harvesting, extraction, and evaluation all happen under controlled conditions. This isn’t wildcrafted or bulk-sourced — this is fully traceable, farm-to-formula bioactive innovation.

That level of traceability matters enormously to cosmetic formulators and brands who face increasing consumer and regulatory scrutiny over ingredient sourcing.

Clinically tested at the Centre for Biomedical Research

One of the things we’re most proud of at BioClover is that CloverCell® has been independently tested at the Centre for Biomedical Research. The red clover extract was evaluated using validated in-vitro skin models — not just theoretical activity, but real, measurable results.

The data shows CloverCell® actively supports skin barrier function, making it particularly valuable for:

  • Sensitive and reactive skin formulations
  • Products targeting daily environmental stress
  • Anti-ageing actives focused on barrier repair and Trans-Epidermal Water Loss (TEWL) reduction
