Description

Hibiscus Sabdariffa Callus Culture Conditioned Media is derived from the conditioned media of callus cultures of the Hibiscus sabdariffa plant, which belongs to the Malvaceae family. This conditioned media is highly valued in the cosmetic and personal care industry for its regenerative, antioxidant, and skin-conditioning properties.

Chemical Composition and Structure

Hibiscus Sabdariffa Callus Culture Conditioned Media contains a variety of bioactive compounds that contribute to its beneficial properties:

Phytohormones: Including auxins and cytokinins, which promote cell growth and regeneration.
Antioxidants: Such as polyphenols and flavonoids, which help protect the skin from environmental damage and oxidative stress.
Polysaccharides: Provide moisturizing and skin-soothing benefits.
Amino Acids: Essential for skin repair and rejuvenation.
Vitamins and Minerals: Support overall skin health and function.
Physical Properties
Hibiscus Sabdariffa Callus Culture Conditioned Media typically appears as a clear to pale yellow liquid with a mild, characteristic scent. It is soluble in water and can be incorporated into various cosmetic formulations such as serums, creams, lotions, and masks.

Cosmetic and Personal Care Applications

Regenerative: Promotes skin cell growth and regeneration, helping to repair damaged skin.

Antioxidant: Protects the skin from free radical damage and environmental stressors.

Skin Conditioning: Improves the texture and appearance of the skin, making it smoother and healthier.

Moisturizing: Helps to maintain skin hydration, preventing dryness and promoting softness.

Anti-inflammatory: Reduces redness, swelling, and irritation associated with various skin conditions.

Environmental and Safety Considerations

Hibiscus Sabdariffa Callus Culture Conditioned Media is generally considered safe for use in cosmetic and personal care products when used within recommended concentrations. It is derived from plant tissue culture techniques, which are sustainable and environmentally friendly. Proper formulation and testing ensure the safety and efficacy of the end products.

Cosmetics - INCI Functions


Antioxidant agent. Ingredient that counteracts oxidative stress and prevents cell damage. Free radicals, pathological inflammatory processes, reactive nitrogen species and reactive oxygen species are responsible for the ageing process and many diseases caused by oxidation.

Skin conditioning agent - Emollient. Emollients have the characteristic of enhancing the skin barrier through a source of exogenous lipids that adhere to the skin, improving barrier properties by filling gaps in intercorneocyte clusters to improve hydration while protecting against inflammation. In practice, they have the ability to create a barrier that prevents transepidermal water loss. Emollients are described as degreasing or refreshing additives that improve the lipid content of the upper layers of the skin by preventing degreasing and drying of the skin. The problem with emollients is that many have a strong lipophilic character and are identified as occlusive ingredients; they are oily and fatty materials that remain on the skin surface and reduce transepidermal water loss. In cosmetics, emollients and moisturisers are often considered synonymous with humectants and occlusives.

Skin conditioning agent - Humectant. Humectants are hygroscopic substances used to minimise water loss in the skin and to prevent it from drying out by facilitating faster and greater absorption of water into the stratum corneum of the epidermis. The epidermis is the most superficial of the three layers that make up the human skin (epidermis, dermis and hypodermis) and is the layer that maintains hydration in all three layers. In turn, the epidermis is composed of five layers: corneum, the most superficial, lucidum, granulosum, spinosum and basale. Humectants have the ability to retain in the stratum corneum the water they attract from the air and have the function of moisturising the skin. It is better to use them before emollients that are oil-based.
