Hello guys,
I was wondering what is your scientific take on this particular product?
Intelligent Nutrients Plant Stem Cell Science Renewal Complex
I have alot of respect for Horst M. Rechelbacher’s and his Intelligent Nurients/ former AVEDA line and I also admite the company philisophies but I was a bit stumped by this plant stem cell concept.
If I would to wager a guess, maybe its nothing more then an ultra expensive antioxidant serum.
Would be glad to hear your thoughts on this
Thanks!
FuriousagodsPerry has written about this before. You might find this helpful: http://thebeautybrains.com/2014/07/21/do-stem-cells-work-in-cosmetics/
Thanks. I’ve finished reading the article. I guess I am kinda disappointed that they went down this route.
I misread that last post by furiousagods, it read way dirtier. Anyway, to me, and just a guess, wouldn’t the stem cells have to be of animal origin, preferably human dna cells to even work properly with our system? I mean, I don’t actually know. I haven’t googled it yet. But that’s why I I personally think plant based stemcells in products are kinda BS. It just doesn’t make too much sense. that, and I never really heard of them, but again… I could be wrong. It’d be like rubbing all that nonsence greenwashy stuff on your face cause it sounds good in the ingredients list.
After reading what Perry wrote, I wonder if there is a way to play a suspend card activated effect, but in a skin cream. (Please don’t laugh at my Magic the Gathering reference.) By that, I mean keeping the stem cells alive, but somehow cryogenically frozen, coated in antioxidants, then encapsulated in Q10. I mean, Idk. I bet that’s dumb.
……. Random and gross {WARNING} question- So, you mean, those crazy women who eat their umbilical chords and placenta post giving birth, are actually getting a huge dose of stem cells to repair the damage of child birth, and it’s nooot such a absolutely insane idea, at least in theory?
OMG I MIGHT HAVE BEEN RIGHT!!!
I googled it and found articles like this http://www.livescience.com/20897-living-stem-cells-discovered-human-corpse.html. And maybe, putting genetically stem cells in a night cream deprived of oxygen, (pump action, air tight sealed, and darkened) and encapsulating them purposefully to deprive them of the nutrients they need, will force them into a dormant state. I don’t know for how long, but it may work, and there should be some cosmetic testing done to see how long they can be kept suspended in a solution this way. I imagine that once the stem cells reach the skin, they can do it’s job just fine once applied and given time but Idk, I’m not a cosmetics scientist or a medical genetic engineer or researcher.
Also there should be cosmetic testing for stem cells to see if it can induce Graft-versus- host disease (GVHD) http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/001309.htm for product derived from human cells now and in the future.
