NARCISSUS TAZETTA CALLUS EXTRACT

Description

Narcissus Tazetta Callus Extract is a plant-derived ingredient obtained from the callus cells of the Narcissus tazetta, commonly known as the Chinese sacred lily or cream narcissus. This extract is rich in bioactive compounds, including alkaloids, flavonoids, and phenolic acids, which contribute to its potential skincare benefits.

The extract is produced through plant cell culture technology, allowing for sustainable and controlled production without relying on wild harvesting. It has shown promising antioxidant properties, helping to neutralize free radicals and protect skin cells from oxidative stress. Research indicates that Narcissus Tazetta Callus Extract may have anti-aging effects, potentially improving skin elasticity and reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

Additionally, this ingredient has demonstrated anti-inflammatory capabilities, which could help soothe irritated skin and reduce redness. Some studies suggest it may also have skin-brightening properties, potentially helping to even out skin tone and address hyperpigmentation. The extract is generally well-tolerated and can be incorporated into various skincare formulations, including serums, creams, and masks. However, as with any new ingredient, patch testing is recommended to ensure individual compatibility.
