THEOBROMA CACAO CALLUS POWDER

Description

Theobroma Cacao Callus Powder is an innovative botanical ingredient derived from the stem cells of the cacao plant (Theobroma cacao). This fine, light-brown powder is obtained through advanced biotechnology processes that cultivate callus tissue from the plant in controlled laboratory conditions. Rich in polyphenols, particularly flavonoids and procyanidins, this ingredient offers potent antioxidant properties that help protect the skin from oxidative stress and environmental damage.

The powder contains a unique composition of bioactive compounds, including theobromine and caffeine, which can stimulate microcirculation and potentially improve skin tone and texture. Its high concentration of lipids, specifically cocoa butter triglycerides, provides excellent moisturizing and skin-conditioning benefits. Research suggests that Theobroma Cacao Callus Powder may help enhance collagen production and skin elasticity, contributing to a more youthful appearance.

In skincare formulations, this ingredient is typically used at concentrations between 0.1% to 1%. It is compatible with a wide range of cosmetic bases and can be incorporated into various products, including serums, creams, and masks. The powder's stability and efficacy make it a valuable addition to anti-aging and skin-rejuvenating formulations.
