The active ingredient manufacturer Symrise has unveiled Cellexora MD, a new cosmetic ingredient based on exosomes derived entirely from Italian upcycled organic apple by-products. These are used to extract extracellular vesicles, which act as messenger substances and transport proteins, lipids and genetic material. Cellexora MD is designed to support skin regeneration and long-term vitality, the company emphasises. The ingredient addresses several signs of skin ageing simultaneously and enables premium formulations that focus on skin regeneration. Clinical studies have shown a visible reduction in signs of ageing, such as wrinkle length and depth, after 30 days.

New generation of active ingredients

According to Symrise, plant-derived extracellular vesicles are setting new standards as an active ingredient for healthy ageing. As biological messengers, they support communication between skin cells and counteract various skin ageing processes through different interactions. At the same time, the ingredient supports collagen production and promotes the skin’s firmness, elasticity and resilience. Furthermore, the active ingredient is said to activate skin-soothing signalling pathways and contribute to a balanced, comfortable skin feel.

Versatile

According to Symrise, formulators can easily work with the white, odourless powder. Thanks to its high water solubility, the active ingredient offers great flexibility in formulation and can be incorporated into almost any skincare product. “The exosomes bring nature’s biological intelligence to high-quality skincare,” says Symrise manager Nathalie Chevrot. With this innovation, the company is expanding its portfolio of high-quality cosmetic ingredients.
