Description

Echinacea purpurea callus lysate is a biotechnologically derived ingredient obtained from the lysed cells of the callus tissue of the Echinacea purpurea plant, belonging to the Asteraceae family. This lysate is known for its potent skin-repairing, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant properties, making it a valuable component in advanced skincare formulations.

CHEMICAL COMPOSITION AND STRUCTURE

Chemically, Echinacea purpurea callus lysate contains:

Proteins and Peptides: which promote skin repair and regeneration.
Polysaccharides: offering hydrating and soothing benefits.
Phenolic Compounds: contributing to the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects.
Amino Acids: essential for maintaining skin health and promoting cellular repair.

PHYSICAL PROPERTIES

Appearance: a clear to slightly cloudy liquid, depending on the concentration.
Odor: minimal to no odor, depending on the purity and processing.
Solubility: fully soluble in water, making it suitable for inclusion in water-based formulations.
Density: similar to that of water, with slight variations depending on the concentration of active compounds.

PRODUCTION PROCESS

Callus Induction: callus tissue is induced from Echinacea purpurea cells under controlled laboratory conditions.
Cell Culture and Growth: the callus cells are cultured and grown in a nutrient-rich medium to promote the proliferation of active compounds.
Cell Lysis: the callus cells are lysed to release their intracellular contents, resulting in the formation of the lysate.
Filtration and Purification: the lysate is filtered to remove debris and impurities, ensuring a high-quality, bioactive product.
Packaging and Storage: the lysate is packaged in airtight containers and stored in a cool, dry place to preserve its bioactivity.

APPLICATIONS

Cosmetics: used in advanced skincare products for its skin-repairing, anti-aging, and soothing properties.
Skin Care: included in serums, creams, and masks to enhance skin regeneration, reduce inflammation, and protect against oxidative stress.
Anti-Aging: used in formulations targeting fine lines, wrinkles, and skin elasticity due to its regenerative effects.
Post-Treatment Care: incorporated into products designed for use after dermatological treatments to promote healing and reduce irritation.
Dermatology: explored for its potential in treating various skin conditions due to its anti-inflammatory and skin-repairing properties.

ENVIRONMENTAL AND SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS

Sustainability: the production of Echinacea purpurea callus lysate can be done sustainably through biotechnological methods, reducing the need for large-scale plant harvesting.
Toxicity: the lysate is generally considered safe for use in cosmetic products when used appropriately.
Allergenicity: as with all plant-based ingredients, individual reactions of intolerance or allergy cannot be excluded.

INCI


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.
