LATEST ADVANCES IN PLANT STEM CELLS FOR SKIN CARE AND SUSTAINABLE BEAUTY
Nature-Inspired Cosmetic Innovation: Stem Cells from Plants
The world of cosmetics is seeing a shift, with plant stem cells playing a significant role. These miraculous cells are at the forefront of cutting-edge biotechnology initiatives, promising a more sustainable and efficacious future for natural skincare ingredients.
Plant regeneration at the cellular and tissue level is a unique process that's all about the adaptability of plant stem cells. They're responsible for stimulating and regenerating plants after injuries in an incredible process that not only supports self-renewal but also the ability to generate differentiated cells.
The unique properties of plant stem cells have caught the attention of researchers. While some are pushing boundaries in agriculture, others are unlocking exciting new possibilities for skin care. Provital recently introduced the first collection of plant stem cells-based natural ingredients, signaling a new dawn in skincare innovation.
TRANSFORMING BIOCOSMETICS AND NATURAL CARE
Plant stem cells are the driving force behind today's most promising biocosmetics initiatives. This coincides with a shift in consumer demands, with a new breed of conscious and informed consumers expecting more transparency and sustainability from beauty brands and cosmetic science.
According to research by Mintel's Global New Products Database (GNPD), over half of UK BPC product launches between January to July 2023 featured ethical and environmental claims. Meanwhile, 63% of respondents in the Clean Beauty Survey 2023 are looking for "products with natural ingredients that are good for their skin and the planet."
To address this growing concern, research initiatives are focused on utilizing plant stem cells in unique ways. For instance, they're finding ways to use by-products and increase the diversity of natural ingredients, moving beyond conventional formulations.
BUILDING A SOLID FOUNDATION WITH HI-TECH BEAUTY FOR AGING WELL
From the past thirty years, skin or tissue engineering has come a long way. It's a biomedical engineering discipline that combines cell research, engineering, material methods, and biochemical factors to restore, maintain, improve, or replace various types of biological tissues.
Within the realm of aging gracefully, plant stem cells research is proving to be extraordinarily revolutionary. For example, orange stem cells have shown promising results in organizing, restoring, and redensifying the inner structure of skin. This is achieved through the creation of CitrustemTM, an ingredient obtained from orange stem cells.
CitrustemTM is a key ally in meeting current consumer preoccupations, as it doesn't depend on orange natural availability and significantly reduces water consumption related to its production. In vitro tests demonstrate that it increases the synthesis of key genes which improve extracellular matrix structure. It also boosts the proliferation of fibroblasts, maintaining dermal integrity.
After just two months of using CitrustemTM, the dermis appears more organized, and the skin looks younger. The global anti-aging effect of CitrustemTM results in firmer, softer skin, with wrinkles becoming less visible, effectively renewing the overall appearance, with elasticity levels that can go back 12 years.
CELEBRATING NATURE WHILE GOING GREEN
CitrustemTM is one of the revolutionary CareActivesTM developed by Provital. Based on the self-renewal power of plant stem cells, these innovations help beauty brands meet the needs of conscious consumers, ushering in a new era for sustainable beauty.
