ALTHAEA ROSEA CALLUS CULTURE EXTRACT

Description

Althaea rosea callus culture extract, derived from the callus tissue of the hollyhock plant, is an innovative ingredient in advanced skincare formulations. This extract is obtained through biotechnological processes, cultivating plant stem cells in controlled laboratory conditions. The resulting extract is rich in polysaccharides, flavonoids, and phenolic compounds, which contribute to its potent antioxidant and skin-soothing properties.

Research indicates that Althaea rosea callus culture extract exhibits significant hydrating effects, helping to maintain skin moisture levels and improve overall skin barrier function. Its anti-inflammatory properties make it particularly beneficial for sensitive or irritated skin conditions. The extract has also demonstrated potential in reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles by promoting collagen synthesis and protecting against oxidative stress.

In skincare formulations, this ingredient is typically used at concentrations between 0.5% to 3%. It is compatible with a wide range of other active ingredients and can be incorporated into various product types, including serums, creams, and masks. The extract's stability and efficacy are maintained in pH ranges commonly used in cosmetic formulations, typically between 4.5 and 7.0.
