About ECHINACEA PURPUREA CALLUS LYSATE
A high-tech extract from lab-grown echinacea plant cells — delivers concentrated antioxidants without the variability of wild-harvested plants. Innovative and gentle.
Detailed Analysis
Echinacea Purpurea Callus Lysate is produced from lysed (broken open) callus cells of Echinacea purpurea (purple coneflower, Asteraceae), grown in controlled plant cell culture conditions. This biotechnology approach produces a standardized, contamination-free extract rich in cichoric acid, echinacoside, polysaccharides, and alkamides. Functions as an antioxidant in cosmetics. Plant cell culture eliminates agricultural variability, pesticide concerns, and sustainability issues. No GHS hazard codes, no EU restrictions. Echinacea is one of the most studied medicinal plants, with well-documented immunomodulatory and antioxidant properties.
