SPATHOLOBUS SUBERECTUS CALLUS EXTRACT

Description

Spatholobus suberectus callus extract is a novel ingredient derived from plant stem cells of the Spatholobus suberectus vine, native to Southeast Asia. This extract has gained attention in skincare formulations for its potent antioxidant and anti-aging properties. Rich in flavonoids and phenolic compounds, it offers protection against oxidative stress and free radical damage.

The extract is obtained through biotechnology processes, cultivating callus tissue from the plant in controlled laboratory conditions. This method ensures a consistent, high-quality ingredient without the need for extensive wild harvesting. Spatholobus suberectus callus extract has demonstrated ability to stimulate collagen production and enhance skin elasticity, contributing to a firmer, more youthful appearance.

In vitro studies suggest it may inhibit melanin production, potentially aiding in the reduction of hyperpigmentation and uneven skin tone. The extract also exhibits anti-inflammatory properties, making it suitable for sensitive skin formulations. Its ability to boost skin hydration and improve barrier function further enhances its appeal in moisturizing products. As research progresses, Spatholobus suberectus callus extract shows promise as a multifunctional ingredient in advanced skincare formulations targeting aging, pigmentation, and skin health.
