Plant Stem Cells While stem cells aren't exactly new to skin care, expect plant stem cells (a vegan alternative) to set the skin care industry ablaze. Catie Wiggy, of MyChelle Dermaceuticals, says, "One exciting area of research is how plant stem cells can be used to target skin problems such as wrinkles, visible capillaries and sun damage." Since all areas of the body contain stem cells that are in a constant state of renewal, Wiggy says using products with plant stem cells can help replace the lost and dying cells caused when the skin endures damage.

Thanks to new technological advancements, it's safe to say that we'll be hearing more about this ingredient in 2018. "From the start, we saw amazing clinical results from using fruit stem cells in combination with antioxidant-rich grape and Vitamin C in our products," says Mimi Lu, Director of Product Development at Juice Beauty. "Not only is plant stem cell production sustainable through biotechnology, but there are a lot of great clinical studies showing the efficacy of these ingredients and how they help improve the vitality of skin."
