About
Avocado callus powder — derived from lab-grown plant cell culture — is a novel cosmetic ingredient that concentrates bioactive phytochemicals in a reproducible, pesticide-free form.
Produced by culturing Persea gratissima cells under controlled conditions to form callus tissue, then drying and milling it into powder. Plant cell culture technology allows production of consistent, contamination-free biomass that can be enriched in specific secondary metabolites (polyphenols, persin derivatives) without environmental variability. As a relatively recent biotechnology-derived ingredient, comprehensive long-term human safety data are still accumulating; no specific EU restrictions apply under Regulation 1223/2009, but the SCCS has noted the need for case-by-case assessment of novel culture-derived ingredients.

- Concentrated source of bioactive phytochemicals from controlled culture conditions
