About
Plant-callus exosome-like vesicles from goji (Lycium chinense). Carries the berry’s carotenoid/polyphenol signature; lightly studied novel class.
Lycium chinense callus extracellular vesicles are nanoscale lipid vesicles isolated from cultured goji-berry plant cells. They are positioned as a vegan, sustainable alternative to mammalian exosomes, carrying carotenoids, zeaxanthin, polyphenols, and lipids. The vesicle ingredient class is novel and lacks any SCCS or CIR opinion; toxicology rests on supplier dossiers. Goji has wide food and topical use with a benign general profile, though goji proteins are documented food allergens that may have rare topical relevance.
