Science
Mechanism of Action
This extract acts by reducing inflammatory cytokines (IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α) and inhibiting apoptosis. It concurrently promotes angiogenesis through VEGF and bFGF upregulation, neutralizes free radicals, and prevents collagen glycation for enhanced skin integrity.

Key findings
- 01 In a rat model, a 20% concentration achieved 88.97% wound healing for radiation-induced skin injury by reducing inflammation and promoting angiogenesis.
- 02 Topical application significantly increased collagen, hexosamine, and uronic acid in granulation tissue, boosting tensile strength by 112% and reducing lipid peroxide levels.

The Formula
Formulation
Stability
Callus culture extracts are typically water-dispersible, with optimal stability observed in emulsions between pH 4-6 (toners) and 6.28-6.8 (lotions/gels).
Conflicts
- High heat (can degrade volatile bioactives)
- Strong oxidizing agents
Safety
Safety Profile
Traditional Acorus Calamus extracts are restricted to 0.13-0.78% in leave-on products due to potential β-asarone content. While this is a newer callus culture derivative, formal CIR review is pending.
