Speed up your skin renewal through stem cell activation
Improving Skin Renewal during the Aging Process with Plant Stem Cells
PhytoCellTec™ Symphytum is a powder based plant stem cell extract of comfrey (symphytum) roots that is prepared by our PhytoCellTec™ technology.
The skin protects our body from the environment. In order to perform this barrier function efficiently, the epidermis is constantly renewed and repaired by the epidermal stem cells. This constant renewal, which is important for the quality of the barrier, also ensures that the skin remains smooth and even. However, as we age, this renewal process slows down considerably due to the reduced regenerative capacity of the epidermal stem cells. This leads to a thinner, dry and rough skin that in turn results in a dull complexion.
PhytoCellTec™ Symphytum has been shown to clearly restore the regenerative capacity of epidermal stem cells cultivated in an aging environment. To this end, a pro-aging medium was developed by Mibelle Biochemistry in collaboration with stem cell technology experts in order to mimic the tissue environment of elderly people. In these pro-aging conditions, PhytoCellTec™ Symphytum was also shown to help the epidermal stem cells in building a thicker 3D epidermis with a higher content of hyaluronic acid.
Clinical studies performed with twenty women demonstrated a significant increase of the skin renewal rate as well as an 11 % improvement in skin smoothness.
PhytoCellTec™ Symphytum can thus boost and improve the skin renewal from the deepest layers of the epidermis during aging. Consequently, PhytoCellTec™ Symphytum prevents the age-related thinning of the epidermis and ensures that the skin remains smooth.
