Fruit Stem Cell Science
 
Their Advanced Fruit Stem Cell Science provides 'universal cells' to renew, repair and regenerate healthy skin; by increasing the longevity of skin's stem cells, defending against key aging factors, including UV and oxidative stress, and repairing skin's DNA to combat the visible signs of aging.
 
Solar Vitis Fruit Stem Cells
Solar Vitis fruit stem cells, from the rare Gamay Teinturier Freaux grape, are characterized by extremely high anthocyanin content. Anthocyanins are powerful antioxidants and free radical scavengers, enhanced by the interaction of special epigenetic factors and metabolites to help protect the skin and epidermal stem cells from UV radiation and premature photo-aging.
 
Solar Vitis (Grape) Stem Cells:

• Protect skin stem cells against UV damage
• Increase the skin's UV tolerance
• Maintain healthy stem cell characteristics
• Defend against aging from prolonged exposure

Malus Domestica Fruit Stem Cells
Malus Domestica fruit stem cells, from the Uttwiler Spatlauber apple varietal, are rich in phyto-nutrients, proteins, and long-living cells. This unique composition of self-renewal growth characteristics awaken dormant skin cells, making them behave like younger cells, while enhanced longevity properties contribute to healthy cell duration and age-delaying protection.
 
Malus Domestica (Apple) Stem Cells:

• Stimulate healthy cell renewal
• Protect longevity of skin stem cells
• Delay senescence of essential cells
• Slow chronological aging of skin
