RHODOPSEUDOMONAS LYSATE EXTRACT.

This extract contributes to skin health by augmenting cellular growth and viability, suggesting improved regenerative processes. It actively reduces intracellular Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) levels, thereby mitigating oxidative stress. Furthermore, it stimulates lysosomal activity, which aids in cellular detoxification. The extract is a natural source of growth-promoting amino acids like glycine and arginine. Components from related species, specifically Lycogen™ from Rhodobacter sphaeroides, have demonstrated the ability to inhibit melanogenesis by reducing MEK/ERK phosphorylation, leading to decreased cellular melanin content and the suppression of melanogenesis-related proteins such as MITF and tyrosinase. Additionally, Rhodopseudomonas palustris is known to be rich in proteins, vitamins, polysaccharides, pantothenic acid, folic acid, and carotenoids like lycopene, which contribute antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and protective properties.
