Description

Syringa vulgaris leaf cell extract is derived from the cultured cells of the leaves of the Syringa vulgaris plant, commonly known as lilac, belonging to the Oleaceae family. This extract is prized for its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial properties, making it a valuable ingredient in advanced skincare and cosmetic formulations.

CHEMICAL COMPOSITION AND STRUCTURE

Chemically, Syringa vulgaris leaf cell extract contains:

Phenolic Compounds: including verbascoside, which provide strong antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects.
Flavonoids: that contribute to the extract's antioxidant and skin-protecting properties.
Polysaccharides: offering hydrating and soothing benefits for the skin.
Tannins: which help in toning and firming the skin.

PHYSICAL PROPERTIES

Appearance: typically a light yellow to pale brown liquid, depending on the concentration and method of extraction.
Odor: mild, slightly floral scent, characteristic of lilac.
Solubility: soluble in water and alcohol, making it suitable for use in various liquid and semi-liquid formulations.
Density: similar to water, with slight variations depending on the concentration of active compounds.

PRODUCTION PROCESS

Cell Culture Initiation: cells from the leaves of Syringa vulgaris are cultured in a controlled laboratory environment to ensure the consistent production of bioactive compounds.
Growth and Proliferation: the cultured cells are grown in a nutrient-rich medium to promote the synthesis of active ingredients.
Extraction: the active compounds are extracted from the cultured cells using methods such as solvent extraction or cold pressing.
Filtration and Purification: the extract is filtered to remove impurities and ensure a high-quality, bioactive product.
Packaging and Storage: the extract is packaged in airtight containers and stored in a cool, dry place to maintain its potency and stability.

APPLICATIONS

Skincare: used in products for its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial properties.
Anti-Aging: included in serums, creams, and masks to help reduce fine lines and wrinkles and protect the skin from oxidative stress.
Acne Treatment: utilized in formulations targeting acne-prone skin due to its antimicrobial effects.
Sensitive Skin: suitable for calming and soothing irritated or sensitive skin.
Hair Care: incorporated into shampoos and conditioners for its scalp-soothing and antioxidant properties.
Advanced Dermatology: explored for its potential in treating various skin conditions due to its protective and regenerative properties.

ENVIRONMENTAL AND SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS

Sustainability: the production of Syringa vulgaris leaf cell extract is sustainable, relying on cell culture technology that minimizes the need for large-scale plant harvesting.
Toxicity: the extract 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.

Skin protectant. It creates a protective barrier on the skin to defend it from harmful substances, irritants, allergens, pathogens that can cause various inflammatory conditions. These products can also improve the natural skin barrier and in most cases more than one is needed to achieve an effective result.
