About
An ozonated extract from prickly pear callus cell cultures. The ozone treatment adds reactive oxygen-class compounds for antimicrobial effect, but ozonides are intrinsically reactive — keep formulations stable and concentrations modest.
Function
Skin benefits
- Mild antimicrobial action from ozonide content
- Skin-conditioning polysaccharides
- Renewable callus-culture sourcing
Known concerns
- Ozonides are reactive species — irritation potential at higher concentrations
- Limited published cosmetic-specific safety data
- Stability and shelf-life require careful formulation
