Glycine Max Callus Extracellular Vesicles is an extract containing extracellular vesicles obtained from the callus cells of Glycine max (soybean). These vesicles are small structures released by cells during culture, containing a blend of lipids, proteins, amino acids, and bioactive molecules. Glycine Max Callus Extracellular Vesicles is primarily used in cosmetics for its regenerative, anti-aging, and protective properties, ideal for promoting cellular renewal and supporting skin health.

Chemical Composition and Structure
This extract contains lipids, peptides, proteins, amino acids (such as glycine and proline), and other bioactive compounds. These extracellular vesicles transport nutrients and growth factors directly to skin cells, stimulating regeneration and supporting hydration and elasticity. Their lipid structure allows easy integration with the skin, promoting effective regenerative and moisturizing actions.
Physical Properties
It is available in liquid form, water-soluble, and can be easily incorporated into serums, creams, lotions, and masks. Its lightweight, non-greasy texture makes it suitable for all skin types, providing nourishment and hydration without oily residues.
Production Process
Glycine Max Callus Extracellular Vesicles is produced by cultivating Glycine max callus cells under controlled laboratory conditions. During culture, cells release extracellular vesicles, which are then collected, purified, and concentrated for use in cosmetic products. This process yields an extract rich in bioactive compounds, ready for advanced formulations.
Applications
Medical: While primarily used in cosmetics, Glycine Max Callus Extracellular Vesicles is studied for its regenerative and hydrating properties, with potential applications in dermatological treatments.
Cosmetics: Glycine Max Callus Extracellular Vesicles is used in skincare products for its regenerative, protective, and anti-aging properties. It helps stimulate cellular renewal, improves skin elasticity, and provides antioxidant protection, making it ideal for anti-aging and regenerative treatments.
INCI Functions:
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.
Hair conditioning agent. A significant number of ingredients with specific and targeted purposes may co-exist in hair shampoo formulations: cleansers, conditioners, thickeners, matting agents, sequestering agents, fragrances, preservatives, special additives. However, the indispensable ingredients are the cleansers and conditioners as they are necessary and sufficient for hair cleansing and manageability. The others act as commercial and non-essential auxiliaries such as: appearance, fragrance, colouring, etc. Hair conditioning agents have the task of increasing shine, manageability and volume, and reducing static electricity, especially after treatments such as colouring, ironing, waving, drying and brushing. They are, in practice, dispersants that may contain cationic surfactants, thickeners, emollients, polymers. The typology of hair conditioning agents includes: intensive conditioners, instant conditioners, thickening conditioners, drying conditioners. They can perform their task generally accompanied by other different ingredients.
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.
Environmental and Safety Considerations
Glycine Max Callus Extracellular Vesicles is considered safe for cosmetic use. Being produced through cell culture, it has minimal environmental impact and does not require intensive farming. Laboratory production provides a sustainable source of bioactive compounds, supporting the sustainability of the cosmetic industry.
