Hey Hotties, welcome back to Behind the Lab Bench! Get ready for a game-changer in the makeup world—stem cells. This blog spills the tea on the science behind them, their perks, and how to make stem cells part of your daily routine. Tap into glowing, healthy skin with this game-changing tech! Let’s get into it (yuh).
What's the deal with stem cells anyway? Imagine stem cells as the chameleons of cells—they can switch up into different types! These rapidly dividing cells can give rise to more stem cells or turn into ones with more specialized functions.
Why do we vibe with them? Because they're packing amino acids and peptides—skin superheroes that help us glow-up. Plus, their antioxidant properties help repair damage, boost cell turnover, and bump up collagen production.
Basically, they're the skincare MVPs you didn't know you needed!
Where do they come from? Stem cells can be found in humans, other animals, and plants. But don’t freak out! Most cell cosmetics are made with plant stem cells or, more specifically, their extracts. These extracts bring the antioxidant A-game and might throw in growth factors to renew and repair your skin. Just know, they won't magically morph into new skin cells—plant cells and human cells don't give rise to one another.
So, how does BiotechBeauty use this technology in our makeup formulas? We source our stem cells from oranges. More specifically, we use plant stem cell extracts clinically demonstrated to protect the cell from environmental changes and to maintain the osmotic cell balance in response to stress. Even more exciting, this ingredient increases the expression of genes that have the power to improve the structure and density of the extracellular matrix, which is like a support system for our cells.
These extracts are packed with amino acids, proline, betaines, organic acids, sugars, peptides, and proteins, which protect your cells and keep things balanced when stress hits.
Just like the rest of our formulas, they’re paraben-free and vegan! Now, you don’t have to choose between looking amazing on the surface and supporting your skin on the cellular level.

XO,
BiotechBeauty
