About
Exosome-like vesicles from cultured pomegranate (Punica granatum) plant cells. Brings the fruit’s polyphenol antioxidant signature in nano-vesicle form.
Punica granatum callus extracellular vesicles are nano-scale lipid bilayer particles harvested from plant tissue cultures of pomegranate. They carry the fruit’s characteristic polyphenols (ellagitannins, punicalagins) and lipids and are positioned as a vegan alternative to mammalian exosomes for antioxidant and anti-aging signalling. The vesicle class lacks any SCCS or CIR opinion; toxicology rests on supplier data. Pomegranate extracts are widely used and generally well tolerated topically, though pomegranate proteins are recognised allergens for sensitised individuals.
