About
Lysed meristem (growth) cells from Camellia sinensis plant tissue culture, providing a concentrated source of rapidly metabolizing plant cells rich in growth factors, enzymes, and metabolites. Novel anti-aging ingredient.
Camellia Sinensis Meristem Cell Lysate consists of lysed cells from the meristematic tissue of Camellia sinensis grown in plant cell culture. Meristem cells are undifferentiated, rapidly dividing plant cells that accumulate high levels of primary metabolites, enzymes, and growth factors. Under EU Regulation 1223/2009, plant cell culture ingredients are permitted. The meristem format may deliver plant growth hormones and nucleic acid derivatives to skin. This represents a more metabolically active cell type than differentiated callus cells.
Skin benefits
- Rich in metabolically active plant cell contents
- May contain nucleic acids and nucleosides beneficial for skin cell turnover
- Contains high levels of enzymes and proteins
- Controlled production ensures consistent quality
Known concerns
- Contains plant growth regulators/nucleic acid derivatives - theoretical concern about effects on human cells
- Generally low concern but requires appropriate preservation in formulations
