Morinda Citrifolia Callus Culture Lysate is derived from the callus cells of the Morinda citrifolia plant, also known as noni. This lysate is used in cosmetic formulations for its skin-rejuvenating and antioxidant properties.

Chemical Composition and Structure:

Bioactive Compounds: Contains a variety of bioactive compounds including polysaccharides, flavonoids, and phenolic compounds.
Vitamins and Antioxidants: Rich in vitamins such as A and C, which contribute to its antioxidant activity.
Proteins and Enzymes: Includes proteins and enzymes that may support skin regeneration and repair.

Physical Properties:

Appearance: Typically a viscous, clear to slightly opaque liquid.
Odor: Mild, characteristic of noni.
Consistency: Gel-like or liquid depending on the formulation.

Production Process:

Callus Culture: Cultivation of callus tissues from Morinda citrifolia seeds or leaves in a controlled laboratory environment.
Harvesting: Collection of the cultured cells after they have grown to a sufficient density.
Lysis: The callus cells are lysed to release their intracellular contents.
Filtration and Concentration: The lysate is filtered to remove cellular debris and then concentrated to obtain the final product.

Applications:

Medical: Used in skin treatments and regenerative medicine for its potential skin-healing properties.
Cosmetics: Incorporated into skincare products to enhance skin rejuvenation, provide antioxidant protection, and improve skin texture.
Food: Not typically used in food applications.

Environmental and Safety Considerations:

Generally regarded as safe for topical application, however, like all extracts, it should be used in accordance with established guidelines to avoid potential allergic reactions or skin irritations. People with allergies or very sensitive skin should be careful. It is important to ensure that the lysate is sustainably sourced and free from harmful chemicals.

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.
