About

Cultured meristem cells from bell pepper fruit, helping skin cells regenerate and maintain youthful function.

Capsicum annuum fruit meristem cells are cultured plant cells derived from the pepper. Contains capsaicinoids (capsaicin, dihydrocapsaicin) and carotenoids. Meristem culture may reduce but not eliminate capsaicinoid content. EU CosIng records Capsicum annuum extracts with no Annex II–VI restrictions but capsaicin is regulated separately. Cultured cells reduce variability in alkaloid content.

Skin benefits

  • Capsaicinoids stimulate microcirculation
  • Carotenoid antioxidants support skin health
  • Plant stem cell technology for advanced delivery
  • Anti-inflammatory potential of carotenoids

Known concerns

  • Residual capsaicinoid content may cause irritation in sensitive skin
  • Potential warming/sensitization effect
  • Avoid use near eyes and mucous membranes
