Stem cells of and old apple cultivar with very good storage properties were produced by applying plant cell culture technique. The extract of the cultured apple stem cells was shown to enhance the viability of umbilical cord blood stem cells, to reverse senescence signs in human fibroblast cells and to increase lifespan of isolated human hair follicles. PhytoCellTec™ Malus Domestica, a cosmetic ingredient based on encapsulated extract of cultured apple stem cells, was tested in a clinical trial over 4 weeks with 20 subjects. This new ingredient was found to significantly reduce wrinkles in the crow's feet area.
