Description

Daucus Carota Sativa Callus Extracellular Vesicles are nano-sized vesicles derived from the callus tissue of the Daucus carota (carrot) plant. These vesicles are used in cosmetics and personal care products for their regenerative, nourishing, and moisturizing properties.

Chemical Composition and Structure:

Daucus Carota Sativa Callus Extracellular Vesicles contain:

Vitamins: Such as Vitamin A (in the form of beta-carotene), Vitamin C, and Vitamin K, which provide antioxidant benefits and support skin health.
Carotenoids: Including beta-carotene, which offers antioxidant protection and enhances skin appearance.
Proteins and Peptides: Bioactive compounds that support skin repair and regeneration.
Lipids: Essential fatty acids that contribute to skin hydration and barrier function.
Nucleic Acids: RNA and DNA fragments that may play a role in cellular communication and regeneration.
The vesicles are rich in nutrients and bioactive compounds derived from the callus tissue.

Physical Properties:

Appearance: Typically a translucent or slightly opalescent liquid.
Odor: Mild, characteristic of carrot.
Texture: Lightweight, with a smooth, silky feel.

Production Process:

The production of Daucus Carota Sativa Callus Extracellular Vesicles involves:

Callus Cultivation: Growing callus tissue from Daucus carota cells in a controlled laboratory environment.
Vesicle Extraction: Isolating extracellular vesicles from the callus tissue using centrifugation or filtration techniques.
Purification: Removing any impurities to obtain a pure vesicle extract.
Formulation: Incorporating the vesicle extract into cosmetic and personal care products.

Applications:

Cosmetics: Used in serums, creams, and masks for their regenerative and nourishing properties. Enhances skin repair, hydration, and overall appearance.
Personal Care Products: Added to lotions and treatments to improve skin health and moisture levels.
Hair Care: Included in shampoos and conditioners for their conditioning effects on the scalp.
Medical: May be used in therapeutic formulations for their potential regenerative and reparative benefits.
Food: Not commonly used as a food ingredient.

Environmental and Safety Considerations:

Daucus Carota Sativa Callus Extracellular Vesicles are generally considered safe for topical use. However, like all extracts, they should be used according to established guidelines to avoid potential allergic reactions or skin irritations. Individuals with allergies or very sensitive skin should exercise caution. It is important to ensure that the vesicles are sustainably sourced and free from harmful chemicals.

INCI Functions:


Skin conditioning agent - Emollient. Emollients have the characteristic of enhancing the skin barrier through a source of exogenous lipids that adhere to the skin, improving barrier properties by filling gaps in intercorneocyte clusters to improve hydration while protecting against inflammation. In practice, they have the ability to create a barrier that prevents transepidermal water loss. Emollients are described as degreasing or refreshing additives that improve the lipid content of the upper layers of the skin by preventing degreasing and drying of the skin. The problem with emollients is that many have a strong lipophilic character and are identified as occlusive ingredients; they are oily and fatty materials that remain on the skin surface and reduce transepidermal water loss. In cosmetics, emollients and moisturisers are often considered synonymous with humectants and occlusives.

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.

Skin conditioning agent - Humectant. Humectants are hygroscopic substances used to minimise water loss in the skin and to prevent it from drying out by facilitating faster and greater absorption of water into the stratum corneum of the epidermis. The epidermis is the most superficial of the three layers that make up the human skin (epidermis, dermis and hypodermis) and is the layer that maintains hydration in all three layers. In turn, the epidermis is composed of five layers: corneum, the most superficial, lucidum, granulosum, spinosum and basale. Humectants have the ability to retain in the stratum corneum the water they attract from the air and have the function of moisturising the skin. It is better to use them before emollients that are oil-based.
