Phyture Biotech's expertise and constant strive for innovation made them breakthrough in plant cell culture technology launching in 2015 their Plant Cell BiofactoriesTM (PCB) Technology Platform. PCB uses totipotent cells, commonly known as plant stem cells, as biofactories to produce highly innovative multi-active ingredients. Based in their technology and in their proprietary concept of Molecular Synergy the company has set out a novel range of products termed Plasma Rich in Cell FactorsTM (PRCF). This proprietary concept is based on how nature works: plants don't work with just one very concentrate molecule or with pure ones, they need the synergistic performance of a complex mixture of compounds, hence a rich plasma.
LUMINIA GRANATUM PRCF is the multi-step Ecocert active ingredient from the range based in a 3-angle extremely effective whitening strategy: enhances the radiance and glow of the skin, evens the tone and texture of the skin and achieves a visible lightening effect. LUMINIA GRANATUM PRCF is a powder derived from the cultured totipotent cells from the seeds of Punica granatum (Pomegranate) enriched in characteristic hydroxybenzoic acids and standardised in gallotannins (gallic acid) and ellagitannins (ellagic acid). The Plant Cell Biofactories TM (PCB) Technology allows to stimulate the cell cultures of LUMINIA GRANATUM PRCF obtaining the highest production of ellagic acid and gallic acid, the main antioxidants in pomegranate.
LUMINIA GRANATUM PRCF is a unique tone and texture evener fighting skin imperfections through a MUTI-ACTIVE way. The panel of tests carried out demonstrated the multi-step active potential at both 0.3% dosage and 1% dosage:
In vitro:
- Protective antioxidant effect on Human Epidermal Progenitor Cells (HEPC) against Sun Radiation induced oxidative stress.
- Effect on UV-induced Keratinocytes – Melanocytes co-culture:
- Melanogenesis inhibition: inhibition of MITF expression.
- Melanogenesis inhibition: inhibition of melanin synthesis.
- Inhibition of melanosome transport and transfer from Melanocyte to Keratinocyte: reduction of Melanophillin production.
In vivo:
- Evening of skin tone
- Smoothing effect of the topography
LUMINIA GRANATUM PRCF includes a unique skin friendly brightening synergistic natural combination of key efficacious constituents (ellagic and gallic acid) for a lightening result.
