You may be wondering why we use Lilac, Apple and other plant stem cells in our products. The short answer is these naturally derived ingredients have been clinically proven to supply powerful anti-aging support to the skin. Using products that contain plant stem cells can help keep your skin looking young by fighting off wrinkles, protecting against sun damage and reducing inflammation.


Dermatologists Believe in Plant Stem Cells

According to dermatologist Dr. Ava Shamban*, they can stimulate better cell turnover, leading to more youthful skin cells at the surface of the skin. Plant stem cells have a strong antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effect, helping to protect against sun damage and prevent wrinkles, according to dermatologist Dr. Sonoa Au*. Not only do they provide the powerful protective benefits of antioxidants, there is also evidence that stem cells promote the production of new collagen, which stimulates skin regeneration.

Antioxidants Block Skin Aging from Free Radicals

  • Skin aging is a complex process that affects both the epidermis and dermis

  • Aging is influenced by internal factors and external factors, with UV exposure being the most significant external contributor

  • UV radiation generates free radicals, which accelerate skin damage

  • Free radicals degrade the skin and alter the structure of collagen and elastin

  • Collagen and elastin are essential for skin firmness, fullness, and elasticity

  • Loss of collagen leads to fine lines, texture changes, and reduced firmness

  • Antioxidants help neutralize free radicals and protect the skin from oxidative damage

  • Lilac Stem Cells are exceptionally rich in antioxidants and are clinically proven to support cellular function and skin repair

Boosting Collagen to Help Skin Regeneration

The internal factors that cause changes in the skin structure are, primarily the skin loosing its ability to regenerate, and this process becomes slower as we age. The reduction of the regenerative potential of the skin is the result of, among other factors, lower activity of the stem cells. This is why scientists turned to plant stem cells to see if they can help restore some of these lost functions. Along with boosting collagen production, plant stem cells have been proven to help rebuild damaged epidermis, and activate the repair of skin cells.

Age-Defense Skincare with Plant Stem Cells

Bottom line: Lilac stem cells and other plant stem cells are a strong line of defense from the biggest causes of skin aging. You can find them in our Cleansing Milk, Balancing Toner, Active Moisturizer, our Vitamin C Serum, and our Broad Spectrum Sunscreen.
