What Is Fragaria Ananassa Callus Powder?
Fragaria ananassa callus powder is derived from undifferentiated plant cells (callus tissue) grown from strawberry plants in controlled laboratory conditions. Rather than using fruit extract, this ingredient uses cultured plant cells to create a powder form that can be incorporated into skincare formulations.
In cosmetic products, it functions primarily as a skin conditioning agent, intended to improve the feel, texture and moisture-retention properties of the skin.
How It Works
Plant callus powders work as humectants and conditioning agents, meaning they can help attract and bind water to the outer layers of skin. The cellular material also provides a fine texture that may improve the sensory feel of a formulation when applied.
The exact mechanism depends on what bioactive compounds are present in the cultured cells, though research on this specific ingredient remains limited.
Clinical Evidence & References
Published research specifically on strawberry callus powder in skincare is scarce. The ingredient is used primarily for its conditioning and texture-enhancing properties rather than for clinically proven therapeutic benefits.
Strawberries themselves contain antioxidants and vitamin C, but whether these are present in meaningful concentrations in cultured callus tissue, and whether they remain stable in finished products, requires further investigation.
How to Use
Fragaria ananassa callus powder is typically found in moisturisers, serums and masks where it contributes to the formulation's texture and conditioning profile. It is generally used as a minor ingredient within a larger formula, so it works best as part of a complete skincare routine rather than as a standalone treatment.
