About

Plant-callus exosome-like vesicles from Houttuynia cordata (fish mint). Carries the herb’s soothing/antioxidant signature; novel and lightly studied.

Houttuynia cordata callus extracellular vesicles are nanoscale lipid vesicles isolated from cultured plant cells of Houttuynia cordata, a traditional East Asian medicinal herb. They are positioned as a sustainable, vegan exosome alternative carrying the parent plant’s polyphenols, flavonoids, and antimicrobial constituents. The cosmetic-vesicle ingredient class is novel; no SCCS or CIR opinion exists, and toxicology relies on supplier dossiers. Houttuynia extracts are generally well tolerated topically but can rarely cause sensitisation in herb-allergic users.
