Spatlauber Stem Cells And Why We Love Them
You may have heard of stem cells before, but maybe not in the context of benefits to your hair. If you suffer from hair loss or thinning hair, then you may want to look into the revolutionary way plant stem cells are being used in treating hair and scalps. KIMI is one of the first haircare brands in North America to introduce plant stem cell technology into their product line, with a significant focus on Spatlauber stem cells. Spat-what you say? Don’t worry, we’ll get into more details as you keep reading. But just know, that this all-natural formula is opening up new frontiers in the world of hair rejuvenation and treatable hair loss.
Wait, what are plant stem cells?
A plant stem cell is a non-specialized cell capable of self-renewal. In contrast to human cells, plant cells are totipotent, meaning that every cell has the ability to regenerate new organs (leaves, flower, seed…) or even the whole plan. All stem cells, independent of their origin (plant, animal or human) contain specific epigenetic factors whose function is to maintain the self-renewal capacity. These cells can make identical copies of themselves as well as differentiate (in other words, split) to become separate, specialized cells. Active plant cells contain powerful essential life substances, such as proteins, lipids, carbohydrates, minerals and other very important molecules that guarantee longevity and anti-aging of the body’s stem cells on the skin and scalp.
Okay…So what are Spatlauber stem cells and why use them?
Derived from the Uttwiler Spatlauber apple in Switzerland, this apple’s claim to fame was its incredible storability. First planted in the 18th century, this apple could stay fresh for months due to its richness in phytonutrients, proteins and long-living cells which came in handy at a time where electricity hadn’t been invented yet! Now that we live in an age where storability in much less of a concern, the Spatlauber apple has become extremely rare and endangered, with only a few trees left in the world. However, new cell culture technology makes it now possible to cultivate cells of endangered and rare species. With this technology, we are able to use the regenerative elements of Spatlauber stem cells to affect the longevity of human skin cells.
What benefits could this have in haircare?
Spatlauber stem cells have proven effects on the age-delaying of hair follicles. Hair follicles are mini organs that represent a natural combination of cells in the bottom layer of the skin. The follicles can be maintained in a growth phase where they elongate until about the 14th day. Then the follicle cells gradually deteriorate and start to die - which is caused by the lack of blood circulation. By integrating Spatlauber stem cells, a staple component in KIMI’s Conditioner, the regenerative elements of the active plant stem cells works to increase the lifespan of isolated human hair follicles and delay the cell deterioration process. This allows for the hair to stay longer in the anagen phase of the hair growth process, resulting in thicker, healthy hair rejuvenation.
WOW! Is anyone else using Spatlauber stem cells?
While there are other brands out there who have experimented with other plant based stem cells, KIMI is proud to be the first brand in North America to use Spatlauber stem cells in their product line. Through extensive research, we feel that the incredible regenerative capabilities and age delaying elements of Spatlauber stem cells provide a quality that is unmatched. By combining this new technology with KIMI’s own unique formula of all natural ingredients, we’re confident that the results will speak for themselves.
