Psychological stress is increasingly recognised as a major contributor to skin aging and skin dysfunction.
Through the activation of neuroendocrine pathways, stress triggers the release of mediators, such as cortisol and pro-inflammatory signals, which disrupt skin homeostasis. These processes lead to impaired barrier function, increased oxidative stress, reduced cellular renewal, and premature signs of aging.
Derived from plant stem cells, PhytoCellTec™ Aloha acts on two different stress-related pathways to counteract these effects. It helps modulate adrenaline- and cortisol- induced responses, preserves skin stem cell vitality, and maintains optimal skin renewal capacity. By protecting these fundamental mechanisms, PhytoCellTec™ Aloha strengthens the skin’s ability to withstand stress and limits stress-induced damage.
In vitro and placebo-controlled in vivo studies have demonstrated that PhytoCellTec™ Aloha:
• protects skin stem cells from psychological stress
• preserves stressed stem cells’ ability to form a stratified epidermis
• enhances skin barrier function
• reduces skin redness
• minimises blemishes
• helps maintain skin smoothness
• reduces wrinkle depth.
In summary, PhytoCellTec™ Aloha provides effective protection of precious skin stem cells against the detrimental effects of psychological stress on the skin. It helps maintain both a healthy and functional skin environment and a visibly smoother, more relaxed appearance.
