The common apple, Malus domestica, has stem cells that have been examined for their potential benefits in skin care.
Apple stem cells are undifferentiated cells that can develop into a variety of specialized cells and are thought to have anti-aging qualities. These stem cells are extracted from the fruit and used to help protect and regenerate the skin in various skin care products.
In one study, stem cells from a rare Swiss apple type called Uttwiler Spätlauber were discovered to help protect the skin’s own stem cells from ageing. The study revealed that apple stem cells could assist to keep skin looking young by stimulating cell regeneration and minimizing the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines.
Apple stem cells may also assist to enhance skin texture and firmness, as well as minimize the appearance of age spots and other indications of ageing, according to recent research.
While more research is needed to fully understand apple stem cells’ potential benefits in skin care, they are becoming increasingly popular in the beauty business as a natural alternative to synthetic substances.
