Skincare developed through two decades of stem cell research
StemCello Revitalizing™ is the premium anti-aging skincare brand of SkinCure, Inc., developed with the BioSpectrum Life Science Institute. The brand uses stem cells as a laboratory tool for finding new cosmetic ingredients. The products contain no stem cells, stem cell extracts or culture media. They contain plant-derived ingredients that were screened in stem cell models, published in peer-reviewed journals and protected by patents.
Stem cells as a research instrument, not an ingredient
Many products borrow the words “stem cell” without publishing any research. Others add animal- or human-derived stem cell material whose safety is hard to verify. We took a different route.
Our scientists apply candidate plant ingredients to cultured human stem cells, place those cells under stress, and measure which ingredients keep them proliferating and functioning. The ingredients that pass are then tested on skin cells, evaluated for safety, and developed into cosmetic raw materials.
The result is a range built on documented ingredients: EMortal from pea protein, isorhamnetin from sea buckthorn, Willex from white willow bark, and established actives such as sh-Oligopeptide-1, copper tripeptide-1 and tranexamic acid, delivered in our multilamellar liposome system.
How an ingredient reaches a StemCello product
Stem cell assay
Candidates are applied to cultured stem cells under serum-free stress. Proliferation is measured first, then the mechanism.
Skin cell tests
Selected substances are applied to several skin cell types to confirm activity beyond stem cells.
Publish & protect
Findings are published, patents are filed, and the ingredient is listed in the PCPC International Cosmetic Ingredient Dictionary & Handbook.
Liposome delivery
The ingredient is loaded into FMLT multilamellar liposomes and evaluated in human use tests.

Instead of synthetic emulsifiers, StemCello formulas use Cellike, a plant-lecithin system that forms multilamellar liposomes averaging about 500–1,000 nm under standard 3,000 rpm homogenization. The phosphatidylcholine bilayers match the main phospholipid of cell membranes, which gives the formulas high skin affinity and low irritation.
