Fruit stem cell cosmetic and personal care product range

US-based cosmetics company Andolou Naturals is marketing a whole range of natural cosmetic and personal care products developed and produced using apple and grape fruit stem cell science.

The fruit stem cell science enables the products to ‘repair, renew and regenerate’ skin cells, which in turn “increases the longevity of skin's stem cells, defending against key aging factors, including UV and oxidative stress, and repairing skin's DNA to combat the visible signs of aging,” according to the company.

Andalou Naturals claims to meet the minimum 70 percent certified organic ingredient criteria for all its formulations, by utilizing organic, natural origin, fair trade and biologically active ingredients.

Fruit stem cells

Two types of fruit stem cells are used by Andalou Naturals, Solar Vitus and Malus domestica, which it claims has many skin care benefits.

Solar Vitis fruit stem cells, from the rare Gamay Teinturier Freaux grape, contain extremely high levels of anthocyanin.

Anthocyanins are antioxidants and free radical scavengers, which help protect the skin and epidermal stem cells from UV radiation and premature photo-aging.

Apple stem cells rich in phyto-nutrients

Malus Domestica fruit stem cells, from the Uttwiler Spatlauber apple varietal, are rich in phyto-nutrients, proteins, and long-living cells.

The composition of self-renewal growth characteristics awaken dormant skin cells, making them behave like younger cells, while enhanced longevity properties contribute to healthy cell duration and age-delaying protection.

Andalou Naturals’ products include skin care, hair care and body care collections, consisting of products such as masks, cleansers, toners, scrubs, shampoos, conditioners, shower gels and body creams.
