Product Description

Phyto-Biotics Perilla capitalizes on specific activity of the phenolic metabolite, Rosmarinic Acid, produced by Perillia frutescens, or Chinese Basil, to provide the cosmetic market with a plant-derived, stem cell ingredient designed to impart antioxidant, protectant, antimicrobial and anti-aging benefits while enhancing cellular metabolism and improving radical stability. The secondary metabolites produced during times of stress have supplied Perilla frutescens with potent antioxidant and soothing properties, helping lessen systemic damage caused by free radicals and resist impending inflammation. Of particular interest, the phenolic compound, Rosmarinic Acid has demonstrated antimicrobial and antioxidant properties. Rosmarinic Acid strongly inhibits 5-lipoxygenase products, 5-hydroxy-6,8,11,14-eicosatetraenoic acid (5-HETE) and Leukotriene A4 (LTB4) at concentrations of 10-5 and 10-3M. In addition to Rosmarinc Acid, inhibition of 5-HETE and LTB4 were exhibited to a degree in the subsequent, following order: Caffeic Acid, Caffeoyltartaric Acid, Caffeoylmalic Acid, and Chlorogenic Acid. Furthermore, an added benefit of Rosmarinic Acid is that it provides antibacterial activity, specifically against Bacillus subtilis, Micrococcus luteus, and Escherichia coli. These aforementioned benefits imply that Rosmarinc Acid has potential as a therapeutic treatment for allergic reactions or inflammation and an antimicrobial. In order to sustainably source the necessary phenolic metabolite, Rosmarinic Acid, Active Concepts grows Perilla frutescens in cell culture. Using biotic stress, specifically pathogenic stress via Leuconostoc sp., our formulators created Phyto-Biotics Perilla by inducing the production of the phenolic compound, Rosmarinic Acid, to create a plant stem cell product ideal for anti-aging, antimicrobial and soothing cosmetic applications.
