BLETILLA STRIATA CALLUS POWDER

Description

Bletilla striata callus powder is a cutting-edge botanical ingredient derived from the stem cells of the Bletilla striata orchid, native to East Asia. This innovative extract is obtained through advanced plant cell culture technology, which allows for sustainable production without harvesting wild orchids.

The powder is rich in polysaccharides, particularly mannose and glucose, which contribute to its potent moisturizing and skin-barrier strengthening properties. It also contains phenolic compounds and flavonoids that offer antioxidant benefits, helping to protect the skin from environmental stressors and free radical damage.

Studies have shown that Bletilla striata callus powder can stimulate collagen production and enhance skin elasticity, making it a valuable ingredient in anti-aging formulations. Its ability to promote wound healing and reduce inflammation makes it suitable for sensitive and compromised skin.

In skincare formulations, this powder is typically used at concentrations of 0.1% to 1%. It is compatible with a wide range of cosmetic ingredients and can be incorporated into various product types, including serums, creams, and masks. The powder's stability across different pH ranges enhances its versatility in formulations.
