Derived from sea eryngium (Eryngium maritimum), Fabbrimarine's marine stem cells carry an affinity with human dermal cells that plant-based stem cells cannot replicate — the technology behind the CSI line.
Fabbrimarine’s marine stem cell technology is derived from sea eryngium (Eryngium maritimum), a coastal plant species. These marine stem cells carry a biological affinity with human dermal cells that plant-based stem cells — the more common source in cosmetics — cannot replicate.
Eryngium maritimum, commonly known as sea holly, is a hardy coastal plant that grows directly in sand dunes and salt-exposed environments along European and Mediterranean shorelines. Its ability to survive and thrive in that harsh, salt-heavy environment is part of what makes it a distinctive source for marine-adjacent cosmetic actives — it’s genuinely adapted to marine conditions, not just associated with the sea by name.
Fabbrimarine’s research points to marine-derived stem cells carrying a biological affinity with human dermal cells that plant-based sources — the far more common choice in the cosmetics industry generally — don’t replicate to the same degree. That affinity is the basis for choosing this specific botanical source over more conventional alternatives.
The CSI line is built directly on this technology. The CSI Cell Mask applies it as a biocellulose face mask, formulated to hydrate and regenerate skin while addressing signs of ageing and uneven tone. See our full brightening treatment guide for how this product fits into a face care routine.
This is one of five core technologies behind Fabbrimarine’s formulas — see the science behind the brand for the complete picture.
