What it is
This ingredient is produced by culturing callus (undifferentiated plant tissue) from Rosa damascena, the Damask rose prized in perfumery and skin care. The cell-culture process yields a consistent extract carrying the plant's protective phytochemicals. In cosmetics it is used as a skin-conditioning and antioxidant agent.
Safety & warnings
Callus-culture-derived extracts are generally well tolerated and offer batch-to-batch consistency. As with other botanicals, sensitivity is possible in predisposed individuals.
Origin & sourcing
Derived through plant callus cell culture biotechnology from Rosa damascena, rather than by harvesting whole flowers.
