Exosomes
Exosomes are tiny “packages” released by cells to send messages and important substances - like proteins and genetic material - to other cells. They help regulate how cells grow, repair themselves, and communicate. When sourced from stem cells, exosomes may have valuable regenerative properties that support skin health and overall well-being.
Every living organism - from humans and animals to plants and even microorganisms - produces exosomes. Each source has its own unique set of beneficial molecules, making exosomes a versatile option for various health, beauty, and research applications.
Unlike most plant-derived exosomes that come from whole plants, LuxThera grows plant stem cells in a controlled environment. This approach yields consistent, high-quality exosomes that contain potent plant-derived factors, which can be especially useful in skincare and regenerative therapies.
Exosomes have a wide range of applications, including:
Anti-aging and skin repair: May deliver growth factors to support collagen production, improve elasticity, and enhance skin health.
Tissue regeneration: Potentially speeds up wound healing and tissue repair.
Immune regulation: May help calm inflammation and support healthier skin and body function.
Safety depends on multiple factors, including the source and quality of the exosomes. High-quality exosomes from reputable stem cell lines are generally considered safe, but it is crucial to ensure they are purified correctly. Poorly processed exosomes or those derived from harmful cells could pose risks, so rigorous production and testing standards are essential.
Stem cell-conditioned media: A mixture of substances released by stem cells, including exosomes, but not specifically purified.
Stem cells: Living cells that can multiply and become different cell types.
Exosomes: Tiny packages released by cells to send messages and important substances.
LuxThera uses carefully selected cell sources and maintains a Master Cell Bank for consistent quality. We follow strict Quality Control In Process (QCIP) measures at every stage, from growing the cells to preparing the final product, ensuring reliable and effective exosomes.
Growth Factors
Growth factors are proteins that help cells grow, divide, and repair. They play a big role in skin health and wound healing by encouraging collagen production and cell renewal.
Key growth factors include:
Epidermal Growth Factor (EGF): Can help speed up skin cell growth and wound healing.
Transforming Growth Factor Beta (TGF-β): Supports collagen production, which may improve skin firmness.
Fibroblast Growth Factor (FGF): Helps boost fibroblast activity, strengthening the skin’s structure.
Yes. Growth factors from compatible sources are often paired with microneedling to promote skin repair and rejuvenation, while minimizing the risk of adverse immune reactions.
Most growth factors break down quickly, limiting their effectiveness. LuxThera’s technology extends their stability and activity, potentially leading to longer-lasting results and better overall outcomes.
Lyophilization
Lyophilization is a process that removes water from a product by freezing it and then using a vacuum. This helps keep delicate substances like exosomes stable and effective for a longer time.
Extended shelf life: Fresh exosomes typically have a shelf life of less than a week and require storage below -20°C. Lyophilization helps prevent degradation, allowing exosomes to remain stable for up to six months even at room temperature.
Easier transport: Less need for expensive, ultra-cold shipping methods.
Flexible formulation: Freeze-dried exosomes can be blended into different product types more easily than liquid versions.
Yes. Our advanced freeze-drying methods and protective formulas allow over 90% of the exosomes to remain intact after reconstitution, preserving their beneficial properties for use in skincare and other applications.
