BROUSSONETIA KAZINOKI CALLUS CULTURE EXTRACT

Description

Broussonetia kazinoki callus culture extract is a cutting-edge botanical ingredient derived from the callus cells of the Broussonetia kazinoki plant, also known as paper mulberry. This extract has gained significant attention in the skincare industry due to its potent antioxidant and anti-aging properties.

The extract is rich in flavonoids, particularly kazinol F and kazinol J, which demonstrate strong free radical scavenging abilities. These compounds help protect the skin from oxidative stress and environmental damage. Additionally, the extract has shown promise in inhibiting matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), enzymes responsible for breaking down collagen and elastin in the skin.

Research indicates that Broussonetia kazinoki callus culture extract may help improve skin elasticity, reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and promote a more even skin tone. Its anti-inflammatory properties can also benefit those with sensitive or irritated skin.

The extraction process from callus cultures ensures a consistent and sustainable source of these beneficial compounds, making it an attractive option for formulators seeking innovative and eco-friendly ingredients. As with any new skincare ingredient, patch testing is recommended before widespread use.
