We thought showing you what the plant stem cells (Phyto Stem Cell collection of products in particular) can do for you with this before and after would answer a lot of the story!
We currently carry two collections that contain, at their center, plant stem cells - GM Collin's Phyto Stem Cell collection and Yonka's Time Resist collection.
Let's start with what stem cells are. Stem cells are the only cells in your body that make different cell types, like blood, bone, muscle and skin cells. They also repair damaged tissue. Stem cells in plants function similarly. Although you can't use plant stem cells and human stem cells interchangeably, as they are designed to do very specific things, scientific research has shown some great effects in skincare. A Swiss bio-tech company, for over 30 years, has been researching and developing plant stem cell for use in skin care. This is the company that both Yonka and GM Collin have looked to for their award-winning ingredients in plant stem cells.
GM Collin's Phyto stem Cell collection uses their multi award-winning bio-active ingredient called PhytoCellTec™ Malus Domestica. It is a patented liposomal preparation of apple stem cells derived from the ‘Uttwiler Spätlauber’, a very rare Swiss apple variety. These apples are a very old variety that is famous for it's shelf life after being picked with skin that takes a very long time to wither. Uttwiler Spätlauber apples have especially long-living tissue stem cells. They have been shown to protect skin stem cells while also delaying the their death. To learn more about this ingredient and the Swiss company behind it, check out the video below.
Yonka's Time Resist collection instead uses their plant stems cells called PhytoCellTec™ nunatak®. It is based on stem cells from Saponaria pumila, a rare flower that survived the last Ice Age in the Alps. During this period of glaciation, Saponaria pumila managed to escape the ice by moving to rare ice-free mountain peaks that are known as nunataks. Despite being continually exposed to low temperatures and high amounts of UV radiation, this rare plant developed unique adaption strategies, effective repair mechanisms and protecting components. These precious substances can now be harnessed to protect and repair skin cells.
We love the technology behind the sustainable use of these plant extracts.
