An extract of Damask rose (Rosa damascena) cells grown as callus in pure culture by a Japanese producer, from roses of Bulgarian origin. This page covers the food-grade powder for supplements, drinks and confectionery; a liquid grade in butylene glycol serves skincare. The producer identified the polyphenols gallic acid and rutin in the extract.
Tell us what you are developing and which documents you need. We reply from Japan within one working day with the product specification, SDS and the CoA of the current lot.
The extract is not made from harvested petals. The producer takes callus cells from Damask rose, propagates them in pure culture and obtains the extract from the cultured cells. Because the material is grown in culture, supply does not depend on harvest season or climate. Culture medium, drying and carrier details are given in the specification supplied with your quotation.

This page is the food-grade powder. The same rose callus extract exists as a liquid in butylene glycol for lotions, creams and masks, under the INCI name Rosa Damascena Callus Culture Extract; it is quoted separately.
Rules differ by market. In the EU, food produced from plant cell or tissue culture is one of the categories covered by the novel food definition of Regulation (EU) 2015/2283. The status check for ingestible use sits with the brand owner or importer; we supply the producer documents it needs.
The material is an extract of cultured plant cells, not living stem cells, so describe it as a rose callus culture extract. Under EU rules, regeneration or wound-healing claims fall outside the cosmetic definition, and health claims on foods must be authorised. Plan the wording with your regulatory counsel.
The producer documents we hold give no reference daily amount for the powder and no use level for the liquid. The concentration in the producer's cell-culture test is a test condition, not dosage guidance. Ask for the producer's recommendation with your quotation.
The producer's work covers aquaporin-3 and COX-2 in skin cells, polyphenols with free-radical scavenging, and a scratch assay on human keratinocytes. All are cell-culture experiments, not studies in people. Tell us which descriptions you need and we will send them with the documents.
Not on file. Halal documentation is often requested for supplements in the UAE and other Muslim-majority markets; ask us and we will check with the producer what can be issued for your order.

Plant cell culture is an established route to cosmetic actives: by 2018 more than 50 cosmetic products based on plant cell culture extracts were on the market, and the first food supplement ingredients from plant cell cultures were made at production scale (sources at the end of this guide). Rose Callus Stem Cell Extract brings the Damask rose (Rosa damascena) into that category. Instead of extracting harvested petals, the producer propagates rose callus cells in pure culture and extracts the cultured cells, so the material does not depend on the rose harvest.
The powder is a food raw material for ingestible beauty and wellness formulas: the producer lists drinks, supplements, jellies and confectionery. In a beauty-from-within line it sits naturally next to Rose Placenta Extract Powder, a culture extract from another tissue of the same rose species, and a protein base such as Fish Collagen Tripeptide or Fish Elastin Peptide.
The same rose callus extract is made as a liquid in butylene glycol for skincare: lotions, essences, creams, face masks and packs, cosmetic soap and BB cream, under the INCI name Rosa Damascena Callus Culture Extract. A brand can carry one rose active across a supplement and a skincare product. The liquid grade is quoted separately; tell us the intended form when you ask.
MOQ, price, packing and shelf life are confirmed in your quotation, together with the producer specification and the document set for your market. Samples are free for registered companies developing a product. Our own OEM line at Tomioka Plant makes finished capsules, tablets and stick packs from 5,000 units per SKU; we check the powder's fit for your format with the sample.

Plants have a strong regenerative ability: they repair damaged tissue and can even grow into new plants. In 1902 the Austrian botanist Gottlieb Haberlandt explained that callus tissue can form from fully developed plant cells and suggested that every plant cell can regenerate a whole plant. In the plant, stem cells sit in the meristems, and callus, the cell mass a plant forms at a wound, is counted among the secondary meristems. In culture, callus cells renew themselves and can be directed to form shoots and roots [1].
The producer of this extract builds on two properties of these cells: self-renewal, dividing while staying undifferentiated, and the capacity to differentiate into different tissues.
The general method starts with a chosen plant part, which is sterilised and induced to form callus on a nutrient medium. The callus is subcultured repeatedly, the line with the best growth is selected, and production moves to liquid culture and bioreactors under controlled conditions; the cells are then disrupted or extracted to release their compounds [1]. Compared with field-grown plants, cell cultures avoid pesticide residues and the differences between growth stages, plant ages and organs, and they do not depend on climate [2]. By 2018 more than 50 cosmetic products based on plant cell culture extracts had reached the market, most of them made in suspension culture, and the first food supplement ingredients from plant cell cultures were produced at production scale [3].
The term is used loosely across the beauty market. In most cases a product labelled plant stem cell contains an extract of cultured plant cells, not living stem cells: cultured plant cells would not survive formulation and preservatives, and their size and rigid walls keep them out of the skin. For that reason, cosmetic claims around these ingredients are usually framed as antioxidant or protective effects. In the EU, claims of regeneration or wound healing fall outside the legal definition of a cosmetic product under Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009 [1]. The material on this page is an extract of cultured rose cells and is best described that way on labels and in marketing.
An analysis of Damask rose leaves and stems reported gallic acid among the phenolics and rutin among the flavonoids [4], and gallic acid is one of the main phenolic constituents of rose hips across several Rosa species [5]. The producer has identified both gallic acid and rutin in the rose callus extract. These are qualitative findings: the extract has no specified polyphenol content.
The producer's technical documents for the two grades describe the following cell-culture work. These are producer data, provided for evaluation; they describe in vitro experiments, not results in people, and they are not claims for a finished product.
Full descriptions of these experiments, including the results reported by the producer, are available to registered companies on request.
The powder is the producer's food-use grade, and the liquid grade carries an INCI name for cosmetics. For ingestible use outside Japan, the status of a plant cell culture extract is checked by the brand owner or importer. In the EU, Regulation (EU) 2015/2283 lists food produced from plant cell or tissue culture among the categories of its novel food definition, which applies unless significant consumption before 15 May 1997 is shown [6]. Statements about the effect of a finished product are the brand owner's responsibility under the rules of the destination market.

It is an extract of Damask rose (Rosa damascena) cells grown as callus, an undifferentiated plant cell mass, in pure culture. The roses are of Bulgarian origin and the cells are propagated by a Japanese producer, so supply does not depend on the flower harvest. This page covers the food-grade powder; a liquid grade in butylene glycol serves skincare under the INCI name Rosa Damascena Callus Culture Extract.
No. Plant stem cell is the market term for extracts made from cultured, undifferentiated plant cells. This material is an extract of cultured rose callus cells, not a preparation of living cells. Describe it on labels as a rose callus culture extract and keep claims within the rules of your market: under EU cosmetic law, regeneration or wound-healing claims fall outside the cosmetic definition.
MOQ, price, packing and shelf life are confirmed in your quotation; larger orders are quoted by volume and freight is quoted on request. Goods ship from Japan 1-1.5 weeks after payment when stock is available; otherwise timing is confirmed in the quotation. Payment is 100% prepayment by SWIFT or Stripe. Iizuka Shoukai also offers OEM finished-product manufacturing in capsules, tablets and sticks at our Tomioka Plant in Gunma, from 5,000 units per SKU.
The powder is the producer's food-use grade for supplements, drinks, jellies and confectionery. The liquid grade is the same rose callus extract in butylene glycol for lotions, essences, creams, face masks, soap and BB cream, with the INCI name Rosa Damascena Callus Culture Extract. Tell us which form you need; each is quoted separately.
