When we talk about innovative, plant-based ingredients that make a visible impact on your skin, we’re usually referring to plant stem cells. Plant stem cells are such an important and game-changing ingredient for your skin, you’ll find it across our product lineup. "With the power of plant stem cell technology, phyto ingredients harness nature's regenerative properties, making them reparative, anti-aging essentials for your skin," explains Glo's VP of Product Development, Anna De La Cruz.
What Are Plant Stem Cells?
If you’ve never heard of plant stem cells or had no idea that they were the star ingredients in our Phyto-Active collection, you can probably agree that plants are pretty resilient beings. They’re able to grow in some of the harshest conditions and have the capability to regenerate cells for all parts—roots, leaves, flower, from the same stem cells. Human and animal stem cells, on the other hand, are only capable of regenerating cells for that specific tissue type.
What Are the Benefits of Plant Stem Cells For Skin?
Although their ability to regenerate cells is part of what makes them so powerful, this is actually not what occurs on your skin, nor is it the reason we choose to include them in our formulas. The plant stem cells included in skincare formulas are not live cells and cannot regenerate human stem cells. Instead, they provide a high concentration of antioxidants and anti-inflammatory properties, which helps defend against sun damage and aging. How high of a concentration, you may ask? Some plant stem cells contain a concentration of antioxidants 1,000 times greater than other forms of plant extracts.
“Plant stem cell benefits to the skin include anti-aging, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory properties,” explains Dr. Nina Desai, board-certified dermatologist.
In addition to their added antioxidants, plant stem cells are also highly pure and uncontaminated and contribute very little environmental impact. Plant stem cells really are the evolution and modernization of plant botanicals.
While plant stem cells are mainly used in anti-aging skincare products, their benefits can extend beyond that and can even help improve hydration, tone, and texture.
