Apple Stem Cells – Malus domestica (Uttwiler Spätlauber)

Why we love it at The Mindful Gem

Apple stem cells are a cutting-edge botanical active cherished for their ability to support skin renewal, protect against premature aging, and enhance firmness and radiance. Derived from the rare Swiss apple cultivar Uttwiler Spätlauber, these plant stem cells contain phytochemicals, epigenetic factors, and metabolites shown to help prolong the vitality of human skin cells.
Clinical studies demonstrate that apple stem cell extracts can reduce wrinkle depth, support epidermal regeneration, and protect skin stem cells from environmental stress, making them a powerful natural anti-aging ally (Journal of Applied Cosmetic Science, 2008). At The Mindful Gem, we incorporate apple stem cell extract into our advanced glow formulas where its rejuvenating, protective, and radiance-boosting abilities bring youthful resilience to the skin.

Ingredient Overview:

Apple stem cells are created by extracting the totipotent stem cells from the Uttwiler Spätlauber apple — a variety known for its exceptional longevity and resistance to shriveling.
These cells are then cultured and stabilized into a potent, skin-compatible extract.
