Leuco-Exo(SH) Microbial Extracellular Vesicle for Hair & Skin
Bring next-generation exosome science to your cosmetic formulations. Leuco-Exo(SH) delivers Leuconostoc extracellular vesicles isolated via GFC's proprietary Hybrid-Exotech method. With ~118.2 nm particles, 7 hair-growth-factor response data, and a 12-week human hair-density study, this is a specialised active for professional scalp and skincare development.
What is Leuco-Exo(SH)?
Leuco-Exo(SH) is GFC Life Sciences' microbial extracellular vesicle ingredient, isolated from its proprietary Leuconostoc GFC1203H strain using the Hybrid-Exotech method. It is supplied as a colourless, clear liquid in a water-based carrier.
This is a cosmetic raw material for professional formulators. It is not a finished consumer product.
The Science Behind It
What Are Exosomes?
Extracellular vesicles (exosomes) are nanoscale membrane-bound particles (approximately 50–200 nm) released by cells. They carry proteins, nucleic acids, DNA, mRNA, and lipids, functioning as messengers that transmit genetic information between cells. Their natural roles include tissue growth, regeneration, and immune regulation.
The Leuco-Exo Difference
Leuco-Exo is specifically microbe-derived. GFC's research began with scalp sampling across age groups (n=80), leading to the identification of a lactic acid bacterial strain associated with people in their teens and twenties: Leuconostoc GFC1203H. This strain was identified through 16S rDNA sequencing and deposited under patent KCTC14077BP.
The vesicles feature a phospholipid-bilayer structure (the same architecture as human cell membranes) and have been characterised by Nanoparticle Tracking Analysis (NTA) at approximately 118.2 nm. At this scale, they are 184–462 times smaller than skin pores, supporting efficient delivery to target cells.
