The world of skincare is always evolving. Our “ingredients deep dive” blog series is keeping you up to date about all of the ingredients you need to be aware of. Next up, a breakthrough ingredient: PhytoCellTec Argan.
What is PhytoCellTec Argan?
PhytoCellTec Argan is an ingredient developed using advanced biotechnology. It uses the power of plant stem cells from the argan tree. The argan tree is one of the oldest tree species in the world, and is famously resilient, thriving in extremely dry conditions and producing nutrient-rich argan oil. By isolating stem cells from the tree’s roots, a potent extract delivers regenerative benefits for the skin.
How Does PhytoCellTec Argan Work?
The PhytoCellTec Argan improves the regenerative capacity of dermal stem cells to deeply rejuvenate the skin. It can reduces wrinkles, tighten and tone skin tissue, increase skin firmness and density, and rejuvenate the skin.
Who Is It For?
PhytoCellTec Argan is suitable for most skin types, particularly those with mature or ageing skin concerns. If you’re looking for an effective, science backed solution to improve skin firmness and reduce wrinkles, this ingredient is a game changer. It is also a great ingredient to incorporate into a preventative routine, to stay youthful for longer.
Why Are Stem Cells Important?
In order to maintain a range of important functions within the skin, constant cellular turnover occurs, renewing and repairing dermal connective tissue. New cells are produced to replace any that are damaged or dead. Adult dermal stem cells are responsible for this regenerative process, differentiating into dermal cell types like fibroblasts. Fibroblasts, of course, are responsible for the continuous production of proteins such as elastin and collagen. However, dermal stem cells age and are diminished, resulting in reduced activity. As a result go this, as we age the production of collagen and elastin drops, and the skin loses its firmness. Fine lines and wrinkles can appear on the skin, and laxity can become a problem.
The Science Behind PhytoCellTec Argan
PhytoCellTec Argan is particularly focused on targeting these dermal stem cells. This unique ingredient helps:
- Boost dermal stem cell activity: Revitalising and protecting these cells ensures they continue to generate new, healthy skin cells as you age.
- Enhance skin regeneration: Promoting repair and renewal improves skin texture and resilience.
- Fight signs of ageing: By maintaining dermal stem cell function, it helps prevent any premature signs of ageing.
