ABRUS PRECATORIUS MERISTEM CELL CULTURE EXTRACT.

Valuable CAS 90320-07-3 / SKIN CONDITIONING

A biotechnologically-derived extract from rosary pea stem cells that delivers concentrated antioxidant compounds without the toxins found in the plant's seeds. This advanced cell culture technology preserves beneficial secondary metabolites including glycyrrhizin and flavonoids for enhanced skin conditioning. The meristem extraction process ensures a pure, bioactive concentrate optimized for anti-aging and protective skincare applications.

Summary

skin conditioning antioxidant anti-inflammatory potential tyrosinase inhibitor

Science

Mechanism of Action

Functions through dual pathways: glycyrrhizin inhibits 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase to reduce inflammation, while concentrated polyphenols and flavonoids like rutin neutralize free radicals and protect against oxidative stress. The extract may also inhibit tyrosinase activity, contributing to skin brightening effects and supporting cellular regeneration processes.
