Stem cells are the raw materials from which all other cells are made. While they may seem ordinary, they are able to develop into many different kinds of cells and are able to divide and regenerate for long periods of time.
Plants are packed with antioxidants which are great for your skin. In fact, they contain up to 1,000 times the amount of antioxidants when compared to other botanical extracts!
All these antioxidants come from the plants’ stem cells. By extracting the plants’ stem cells, scientists are able to get to the root of where all the antioxidants are made. This is what makes stem cells so powerful for skincare.
Plant stem cells and your aging skin
Your skin cells grow and die at a fast rate. Since our environment is full of environmental toxins, free radicals, and UV rays, every time new skin develops, there’s a chance they are already damaged and mutated.
As we age, our stem cells become depleted and our skin cells continue dying at a fast rate. Our bodies do not make enough new skin cells to replenish the old and dead skin cells. In fact, they take even longer to do so as you age. This leads to the breakdown in collagen production, and causes aging signs like wrinkles and deep lines.
Unlike your skin’s stem cells, plant stem cells do not age or deteriorate over time. When applied to your skin as part of your beauty routine, plant stem cells stimulate your body’s collagen production and cell renewal, and reduce your signs of aging!
How are plant stem cells extracted?
Plant stem cells are extracted from plants like Edelweiss and fruit like Swiss apples.
They are cultured in sterile labs away from pollution and pesticides. The advancement in science technology also means scientists are given better access to the purer ingredients in the plants and fruits because of the lack of toxins or chemicals.
It is important to note that plant stem cell research and harvesting does not kill the plants or damage the environment. It also has nothing to do with human stem cells.
Three reasons why you should use plant stem cells in your anti-aging routine
- Plant stem cells contain strong antioxidants and are an anti-inflammatory. This helps to protect your skin against sun damage, prevent wrinkles, and the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines.
- Plant stem cells can encourage the growth of your skin’s stem cells and promote your production of collagen.
- Plant stem cells also help to tighten and tone your skin’s tissues, thereby increasing your skin’s firmness and density.
