Exosomes, also referred to as Ectosomes or Small Extracellular Vesicles (sEVs), are natural vesicles enveloped by lipid membranes secreted by cells, containing essential biological components such as DNA, RNA, proteins, and bioactive compounds.
While synthetic and biomimetic exosomes garner increasing interest for mimicking natural functions, Vytrus Biotech distinguishes itself by focusing on intact, natural plant exosomes. These exosomes closely mimic mammalian exosomes, enabling effective penetration into human cells and facilitating cross-kingdom communication. Vytrus Biotech tailors these exosomes to meet specific cosmetic needs, viewing them as crucial “natural biological communicators.”
In cosmetics, plant exosomes exhibit a significant advantage due to their superior transdermal delivery capabilities. They penetrate the skin’s stratum corneum via appendageal, intercellular, and transcellular pathways, ensuring efficient absorption and rapid enhancement of skin parameters. The lipid membrane structure of plant exosomes facilitates endocytosis through various mechanisms such as clathrin, RAFTs, caveolae, pinocytosis, phagocytosis, direct fusion, and receptor mediation, allowing them to deliver bioactive compounds deeply into skin layers for maximum efficacy.
Vytrus Biotech underscores the competitive advantages of natural plant exosomes over synthetic and animal-derived counterparts. Unlike synthetic variants, plant exosomes maintain structural integrity and biomimicry, offering a natural, low-immunogenic, and non-toxic alternative. They also exhibit greater stability and environmental resilience, ideal for cosmetic applications. Compared to animal-derived exosomes, plant exosomes are vegan-friendly and ethically sound, appealing to conscientious consumers.
Through advanced biotechnological processes, Vytrus Biotech achieves high concentrations of billions of exosomes per milliliter, surpassing conventional plant sources. This high concentration enables effective delivery of molecular information to human cells, thereby enhancing anti-inflammatory effects, hydration, regeneration, and skin homeostasis.
Vytrus Biotech’s research breakthrough includes the discovery of Exosomic Peptides™ within plant exosomes, a novel cosmetic ingredient offering notable anti-aging, anti-inflammatory, and anti-wrinkle benefits. Their biotechnological platforms have successfully produced and characterized real plant exosomes from Curcuma longa and Centella asiatica plant stem cell cultures, achieving concentrations essential for effective cosmetic applications. Curcuma longa exosomes show promise in skin hydration, regeneration, and hair density improvement, while Centella asiatica exosomes encapsulate and protect compounds like growth factors, proteins, and peptides.
In pushing the boundaries of cosmetic science, Vytrus Biotech continues to innovate with natural plant exosomes, setting new standards for sustainable, effective, and ethical cosmetic ingredients.
