Description

Rosa Gallica Callus Extract is derived from the callus cells of Rosa gallica, a plant in the Rosaceae family. This extract is used primarily in cosmetics and dermatology for its potential benefits.

Chemical Composition and Structure:

Essential Oils: Contains aromatic compounds that provide a characteristic floral fragrance.
Phenolic Compounds: Includes flavonoids, tannins, and phenolic acids, which may have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects.
Organic Acids: Presence of acids such as citric acid, contributing to the chemical profile of the extract.
Proteins and Polypeptides: Components derived from callus cells that may have beneficial effects on the skin.

Physical Properties:

Appearance: The final product may appear as a concentrated extract, with color varying depending on the extraction process.
Odor: Floral fragrance, similar to that of fresh Rosa gallica flowers.
Solubility: Soluble in aqueous solutions and alcohol, though solubility may vary depending on the formulation.

Production Process:

Cultivation: Callus cells of Rosa gallica are cultivated under controlled laboratory conditions.
Harvesting: The callus is harvested once it reaches sufficient growth and concentration of active compounds.
Processing: The callus is treated to extract active ingredients. Common methods include solvent extraction or cold processing.
Formulation: The extract is incorporated into cosmetic and dermatological products such as creams, serums, and lotions.

Applications:

Cosmetics and Skin Care: Used in skin products for its potential antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and moisturizing properties.
Dermatology: Employed in treatments to improve skin appearance and support cellular regeneration.
Body Products: Added to body lotions and creams to enhance skin elasticity and overall appearance.

Environmental and Safety Considerations:

Environmental Impact: Cultivating callus cells is generally considered sustainable, reducing environmental impact compared to wild plant harvesting.
Safety: Generally considered safe for use in cosmetics and skin care products. As with all plant-based ingredients, individual reactions or allergies cannot be ruled out. It is advisable to perform a patch test before extensive use.

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.
