The stem cell trend is here to stay. Research shows that plant stem cells can slow down aging of the skin by defending against extrinsic stress. Phyto-Biotics Acai® capitalizes on specific activity of phenolic metabolites produced by the Acai palms to provide a plant-derived stem cell ingredient that imparts antioxidant, protectant and powerful anti-aging benefits for an everlasting appearance. Active Concepts has chosen to use a novel approach, which focuses on biotic stress, embodied by the sustainable practice of co-culturing of plant stem cells to produce secondary metabolites. This technology also induces cellular differentiation and provides potent cosmetic benefits to any formulation.
