We are always looking for ways to keep our skin more youthful-looking. It goes back to the days of Cleopatra and her milk baths which helped to maintain her beauty, and today its known that lactic acid in milk served as a gentle exfoliant.
In recent years scientist and chemists are having breakthroughs in technological discoveries that are showing how vastly products and their ingredients can increase their effectiveness. Plant stem cells can be extracted from blossoms long prized for their beauty and fragrance-such as edelweiss, gardenia, apples and grapes-then cultivated in a laboratory to multiply their molecular potency by literally 1,000 times or more. This concentration, not available in a raw state, allows the product to deliver the powerful dose of active ingredients to the consumer. It brings together the best of the botanical and clinical world.
How exactly does stem cell technology work? Stem cells in plants are referred to as undifferentiated cells. These chameleonlike cells, carrying the entire DNA gene expression of the plant can morph, or differentiate, into other cell types to help the plant regenerate. It’s this regeneration that can help regenerate new baby skin cells and repair damage. Their crucial role is to replenish dying cells and regenerate damaged tissue.
Plant stem cells also have a powerful antioxidant property that helps protect against UV and free radical damage.
Human stem cells on the skin’s epidermis are crucial to replenish the skin cells that are lost due to continual shedding. When epidermal stem cells are depleted, the number of lost or dying skin cells outpaces the production of new cells, threatening the skin’s health and appearance.
Studies show that apple stem cells boosts production of human stem cells, protect the cell from stress, and decreases wrinkles. How does it work? The internal fluid of these plant cells contains components that help to protect and maintain human stem cells. Apple stem cells contain metabolites to ensure longevity. Currently referred to as ‘The Fountain of Youth’, these wonder cells work super efficiently and are completely safe.
Apple stem cells used in Eminence Organic’s Neroli Age Corrective Hydrating Mist are known for rejuvenating and increasing the longevity of the skin cells. This powerful anti-aging and antioxidant ingredient can help reverse and target premature aging.
