Description

Calendula Officinalis Callus Lysate Extract is derived from the lysate of callus tissue from the Calendula officinalis plant, also known as Calendula or Marigold. This extract is utilized in cosmetics and skincare products for its advanced regenerative and reparative properties derived from plant cells in a growth phase.

Chemical Composition and Structure:

Key Components: The callus lysate contains a range of bioactive compounds including flavonoids, carotenoids, saponins, and polysaccharides, which are known for their antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and regenerative properties.
Structure: The extract consists of plant cells that have been lysed, releasing their active components into the extraction matrix. This allows access to cellular benefits without using live cells.

Physical Properties:

Appearance: Calendula Officinalis callus lysate is typically a clear or slightly yellow liquid.
Odor: It has a mild floral fragrance typical of Calendula.
Solubility: It is water-soluble, facilitating its incorporation into aqueous formulations.

Production Process:

Callus Cultivation: Callus tissue is cultivated under controlled conditions that simulate the necessary growth environment for plant cells.
Lysis: The callus tissue is treated to create a lysate, a process that breaks the cells to release bioactive compounds.
Extraction: The lysate is then extracted and purified to concentrate the active ingredients and remove any impurities.
Formulation: The Calendula Officinalis callus lysate is incorporated into cosmetic products such as serums, creams, and masks.

Applications:

Cosmetics: Used in anti-aging and skin regeneration products due to its reparative and regenerative properties. Helps to improve skin appearance, reduce the visibility of fine lines, and promote a youthful skin appearance.
Skincare: Ideal for products aiming to repair and regenerate damaged skin, improve elasticity, and provide hydration.
Haircare: Can be used in treatments for the scalp and hair to support hair health and strength.

Environmental and Safety Considerations:

Environmental Impact: The production of callus lysate extract should be conducted using sustainable practices, including eco-friendly cultivation and extraction methods.
Safety: Generally regarded as safe for topical use. However, like all advanced extracts, it should be used according to established guidelines to avoid potential allergic reactions or skin irritations. Safety assessments are recommended for new formulations or high concentrations.

INCI Functions:


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.
