Damascus Rose (Rosa damascena Mill.) is a classic ingredient in premium skincare. Conventional rose ingredients depend on petal extraction, are dominated by volatile essential-oil actives, and face supply exposure to origin, season and climate. 

Botalaya® moves beyond the petal: plant cell culture isolates high-purity plant-derived extracellular vesicles (PDEVs) from Rosa damascena callus tissue, ensuring a pristine source and zero loss of actives. Polyphenols and flavonoids are directionally enriched to target the root cause of oxidative skin aging, delivering benefits far beyond traditional rose essential oil.

The value rests on a dual technology barrier. PCF standardised production removes dependence on origin, season and climate, ensuring consistent composition batch to batch; the sterile culture environment eliminates pesticide residues, heavy metals and microbial contamination at source. Endogenous vesicles act as natural carriers: the nanoscale structure encapsulates and protects actives, and membrane fusion with skin cells delivers them into deeper layers, improving absorption and bioavailability. The material is rich in gallic acid, ellagic acid, catechins, proanthocyanidins and kaempferol, forming a multi-layered antioxidant network.
