Two key characteristics characterize them: they can be transformed into different specialized cells of the same tissue and have the capacity to renew and regenerate through cell division during a person’s life.
Stem cells can be transformed into several different types of cells, through a process called “differentiation.”
In the initial stages of human development, stem cells in the embryo are “different” from all types of cells in the body – brain, bone, heart, muscle, skin, etc.
Epidermal stem cells.
Adult stem cells are also present in the outer layer of human skin, the epidermis. These cells are called epidermal stem cells and are found in the innermost layer of the epidermis (basal layer).
Although their appearance does not differ from the other cells of the basal layer, stem cells have a unique function: they constantly renew and rejuvenate the epidermis due to the formation of new keratinocytes and the regeneration of damaged tissue since only these cells have the capacity to divides indefinitely In young skin, the epidermis is completely renewed approximately every 4 weeks.
This process slows down as we age. The number of skin stem cells decreases and their vitality decreases. Since new epidermal stem cells cannot develop during a person’s life, it is very important to preserve the vitality of these valuable cells and their ability to divide for as long as possible.
Plant stem cells protect stem cells from the skin.
Each stem cell contains specific factors whose function is to preserve the multipotency of stem skin cells pro and their capacity for self-renewal.
Applied in the right way, they have a positive impact on the vitality of skin stem cells and their proper functioning.
The Apple.
Uttwiler Spätlauber is an old Swiss variety.
It was known for its exceptional long-term preservation capacity.
As the apple could be preserved for a long time without wrinkling or losing its flavor, it was clear that it had special ingredients and stem cells of especially long-lasting viability.
Plant stem cells for skin stem cells. The effect
PhytoCellTec ™ Malus Domestica, the active ingredient based on apple stem cells, promotes the vitality and longevity of skin stem cells, protects them from damage due to environmental stress and therefore slows down skin aging processes.
Vitis Vinifera.
PhytoCellTec ™ Solar Vitis is made from stem cells of the Gamay Teinturier Fréaux grape – a Burgundy grape – characterized by an extremely high content of polyphenols for UV protection.
Studies have shown that PhytoCellTec ™ Solar Vitis reliably protects epidermal stem cells from UV stress, and thus skin aging caused by sunlight. PhytoCellTec ™ Solar Vitis increases the vitality and efficiency of all essential skin cells and improves skin resistance.
The use of plant stem cells protects the most important cells of the skin, that is, stem cells, slowing down skin aging. PhytoCellTec ™ Solar Vitis protects the skin from chronological aging and that induced by sunlight, extending the vitality of stem cells, making the skin retain its youthful and beautiful appearance for longer.
