Curcuma Longa Callus Lysate is a lysate derived from Curcuma longa (turmeric) callus cells, obtained under controlled laboratory conditions. This lysate contains a combination of curcuminoids, polysaccharides, amino acids, and antioxidants, providing regenerative, protective, and anti-aging benefits for the skin. Primarily used in cosmetic products, Curcuma Longa Callus Lysate is ideal for enhancing skin elasticity, promoting cellular renewal, and protecting the skin from oxidative damage.
Chemical Composition and Structure
This lysate contains curcuminoids, primarily curcumin, along with polysaccharides, proteins, essential amino acids, and antioxidants. These bioactive components work synergistically to neutralize free radicals, strengthen the skin barrier, and support cellular regeneration. Curcumin and other antioxidants protect against premature aging, while polysaccharides and proteins improve hydration and elasticity.
Physical Properties
It is available in liquid form, water-soluble, and easily incorporated into serums, creams, lotions, and masks. Its lightweight texture makes it suitable for all skin types, providing hydration and protection without leaving an oily residue.
Production Process
Curcuma Longa Callus Lysate is produced by cultivating Curcuma longa callus cells in a laboratory. Once sufficient growth is achieved, the callus cells are lysed to release their bioactive components, which are then purified and concentrated for use in cosmetic products.
Applications
Medical: While primarily used in cosmetics, Curcuma Longa Callus Lysate is studied for its antioxidant and regenerative properties, with potential applications in dermatological treatments.
Cosmetics: Curcuma Longa Callus Lysate is widely used in skincare products for its regenerative, anti-aging, and soothing properties. It helps improve skin elasticity, promotes cellular renewal, and protects skin from oxidative damage, making it ideal for anti-aging and hydrating treatments.
INCI Functions:
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.
