Description

Panax ginseng meristem cell culture is derived from the meristematic cells of the Panax ginseng plant. Meristematic cells are undifferentiated plant cells with the ability to differentiate into various tissue types. This type of culture is used in cosmetics for its stimulating and regenerative properties, leveraging the vitality and bioactive properties of the meristem cells.

Chemical Composition and Structure:

Active Components: Rich in ginsenosides, phytonutrients, antioxidants, and other bioactive molecules that support skin health and regeneration.
Composition: Contains a variety of bioactive compounds, including saponins, vitamins, and minerals, essential for its regenerative properties.
Structure: Typically presented as a clear liquid or gel, preserving the high biological activity of the meristematic cells.

Physical Properties:

Appearance: Clear liquid or gel, depending on the preparation process.
Odor: Light, characteristic of ginseng.
Solubility: Soluble in water and easily incorporated into cosmetic formulations.
pH: Usually between 5.5 and 6.5, compatible with skin.

Production Process:

Cell Culture: Meristematic cells of Panax ginseng are cultured under controlled laboratory conditions to maintain their vitality and growth capacity.
Extraction: The cells are processed to extract the bioactive components.
Formulation: The extract is incorporated into cosmetic products to enhance cellular regeneration and anti-aging properties.

Applications:

Skin Care: Used in serums, creams, and masks to promote cellular regeneration, improve skin elasticity, and reduce signs of aging.
Cosmetic Products: Suitable for formulations aimed at rejuvenation and intensive skin care.

Environmental and Safety Considerations:

Environmental Impact: The meristem cell culture is sustainable and reduces environmental impact compared to harvesting whole plants.
Safety: Generally considered safe for cosmetic use. People with allergies or very sensitive skin should use the product with caution.

INCI:


Antimicrobial agent. This ingredient is able to suppress or inhibit the growth and replication of a broad spectrum of microorganisms such as bacteria, fungi and viruses by making the stratum corneum temporarily bactericidal and fungicidal.

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. 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.
