Despite the undercurrent of fear that stemcells bring out fromthe public, religion and politicians, 'stemcells' have become an accepted termat the cutting edge of skin care. Specialist skin care companies such as BeautyLab, as well as high street retailers like Superdrug, are embracing our new understanding of how cells function. It is becomingmore andmore common to see skin care products with 'stemcell technology'.
This new generation of anti-ageing products is reminiscent of the early days of Botox®or 'Peptide Chemistry'. Brands again are responding to the public's interest and asking scientists 'what can we use?'

There is no doubt that all these technologies are yielding potent actives. Injecting stemcells into the lower layers of skin involving techniques that belong to the world of plastic surgeons and like face-transplants, bringsMary Shelly'smonster tomind. For those of us simply wanting to keep our skin 'youthful', we can safely choose products that contain the latest stemcell technology, knowing they are designed after our natural stemcells.
Asmentioned earlier, some of the extracts and actives that have long histories of safe use in cosmetics also have effects on skin's
stemcells.There is therefore no one active ingredient to search for but whole families of actives. Ingredients, from combinations of fermented botanical extracts such as Saccharomyces / Camellia Sinensis (GreenTea) Leaf, OriganumMajorana (SweetMarjoram) Leaf, Hippophae Rhamnoides (Sea Buckthorn) Fruit and Ribes Grossularia (Gooseberry) Fruit Ferment Filtrate to simple sounding apple extracts are part of this technology.
As stemcells are our body'smechanisms for repair and replenishing, itmakes sense that certainmolecules in complex plant extracts, when applied topically, wouldmake skin 'feel damaged' and so 'stimulate' stemcells.
So is the fuss about stemcells real and will they stopme ageing? Like all new technologies, as our understanding of our stemcells grows so will our ability to apply that
knowledge.The very latest products with stemcell technology are not going to let you
down.Yes, stemcell technology is leading us tomore effective skin care.
