Science

Mechanism of Action

Passiflora extracts are known to significantly boost mitochondrial activity within skin cells and elevate the expression of anti-aging genes, crucial for maintaining cellular energy and skin youthfulness. Meristem cells broadly contribute with potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, stimulating fibroblast proliferation and enhancing extracellular matrix production. They modulate gene expression related to skin senescence, stimulate collagen production, and promote skin renewal. This ingredient can also aid in repairing damaged DNA and offers protection against UV-induced damage and oxidative stress. Meristem cell-derived active compounds have shown the ability to protect human skin fibroblasts and endothelial cells from UV irradiation and bacterial exposure, while reducing deleterious cytokines and reactive oxygen species in keratinocytes under inflammatory conditions. Preliminary data also suggests a role in mitigating melanocyte pigmentation and modulating anti-inflammatory functions in macrophages.

Stability

Optimal growth for Passiflora tissue culture typically occurs at a pH of approximately 5.8, though it can tolerate a wider range between 4.0 and 7.2. Production processes typically address inherent challenges like recalcitrance, sensitivity to ethylene accumulation, and phenolic browning to ensure ingredient stability and efficacy.
