Description

Syringa Vulgaris Leaf Cell Culture Extract. Syringa vulgaris, commonly known as the common lilac, is a deciduous shrub in the Oleaceae family, native to Southeastern Europe and Asia. Syringa vulgaris leaf cell culture extract is produced using advanced biotechnological methods involving the cultivation of leaf cells in a controlled laboratory environment. This extract is valued for its potential benefits in cosmetics and skincare due to its concentration of bioactive compounds.

Chemical Composition and Structure:

Key components in Syringa vulgaris leaf cell culture extract include:

Phenolic Compounds: Such as syringic acid and caffeic acid, known for their antioxidant properties.
Flavonoids: Including quercetin and kaempferol, which provide antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects.
Essential Oils: Although present in lower concentrations compared to whole plant extracts, compounds like linalool and geraniol may contribute to the extract’s fragrance and antimicrobial properties.
Saponins: Present in smaller amounts, providing soothing and skin-conditioning effects.
The chemical structure of syringic acid is characterized by a benzene ring with methoxy groups attached, which enhances its antioxidant activity.

Physical Properties:

Appearance: Typically a clear to slightly yellow liquid or a pale green powder, depending on the extraction method.
Odor: Floral and green, characteristic of lilac leaves.
Solubility: Soluble in water and alcohol.
pH: Generally neutral to slightly acidic, depending on the specific formulation.

Production Process:

Cell Culture Initiation: Leaf cells of Syringa vulgaris are cultured in a controlled laboratory environment, allowing for the growth of cells from the plant’s leaf tissues.
Cultivation: The cells are grown in nutrient-rich media to encourage the production of bioactive compounds.
Harvesting: After a designated growth period, the cells are harvested for extraction.
Extraction: The bioactive compounds are extracted from the cultured leaf cells using solvents such as ethanol or water.
Purification: The extract is filtered to remove residual cell debris and impurities.
Standardization: The extract may be standardized to ensure consistent levels of active compounds, including phenolic acids and flavonoids.
Formulation: The standardized extract is incorporated into various cosmetic products.

Applications:

Cosmetics and Skincare: Used for its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and skin-conditioning properties in products like creams, serums, and lotions. It helps improve skin appearance and imparts a pleasant, fresh scent.
Anti-Aging Products: Utilized for its potential to support skin regeneration and reduce signs of aging.
Serums and Masks: Incorporated into formulations designed to soothe, hydrate, and rejuvenate the skin.

Environmental and Safety Considerations:

Environmental Impact: The use of cell culture technology reduces the need for extensive plant harvesting, promoting sustainability and minimizing environmental impact.
Safety: As with all plant-derived ingredients, individual reactions such as intolerance or allergy cannot be excluded.

INCI


Skin conditioning agent. It is the mainstay of topical skin treatment as it has the function of restoring, increasing or improving skin tolerance to external factors, including melanocyte tolerance. The most important function of the conditioning agent is to prevent skin dehydration, but the subject is rather complex and involves emollients and humectants that can be added in the formulation.
