Plant exosomes for advanced skin, hair care

Abstract

Natural plant exosomes are revolutionizing the field of skin and hair care with their extraordinary bioactive properties. These small extracellular vesicles (EVs), produced by plant cells, are rich in DNA, RNA, proteins, and lipids, and function as natural biological communicators. Unlike synthetic alternatives, plant exosomes provide a sustainable, natural, and highly effective solution that aligns with the increasing consumer demand for eco friendly and effective beauty products. By enabling cross-kingdom communication, plant-derived exosomes are ushering in a new era of cosmetic innovation. They offer a unique and powerful approach to enhancing skin and hair health. The ability to customize and control the production of various types of exosomes highlights their vast potential, positioning natural plant exosomes as a groundbreaking advancement in the quest for advanced and sustainable cosmetic solutions. Vytrus Biotech has successfully created high concentration plant-derived exosomes from Curcuma longa and Centella asiatica cell cultures. These exosomes significantly improve skin hydration, regeneration, and hair growth, while promoting anti-ageing, anti-inflammatory, and regenerative effects, making them essential components in modern cosmetic formulations.

Exosomes, also known as ectosomes or small extracellular vesicles (sEVs), are lipid-bound vesicles naturally secreted by cells. These vesicles, which range from 30 to 500 nanometres in diameter, are crucial for intercellular communication as they transport bioactive molecules such as DNA, RNA, proteins, lipids, and cytokines. They play essential roles in gene regulation, immune response modulation, and tissue regeneration.¹
