You may be wondering what a fruit has to do with your skin, right? Well it may not be what you’re thinking of, like the granny smith or red delicious that you have in your kitchen right now. What we’re talking about is the Malus Domestica Swiss Apple. Fancy term for an apple huh? The Swiss Apple stem cell is a specific ingredient that we use in three of our Epice skincare products. You may or may not have heard of it, but I’m going to give you a little background on it and the benefits that it has on your skin.

First, the background: It is derived from the Uttwiler Spätlauber and is a very rare variety of apple tree that is well known in Switzerland, where it is native to. It’s known for its exceptional longevity when stored for extended periods of time (three months from harvest date, long after other apples have deteriorated). The Uttwiler Spätlauber apple was first recorded in the 18th century in the canton Thurgau, in northern Switzerland, and has since survived in a few remaining trees, having not been widely cultivated because of its sour taste. The apples are rich in phytonutrients, proteins and long-living cells.

Okay for some people, you may have just been thinking blah, blah, blah as you were reading this, but hopefully for others it was somewhat educational. 

SO, WHAT DO SWISS APPLE STEM CELLS DO?

The Swiss Apple Stem Cell extract is a natural alternative to regenerate DNA damaged skin cells. Not only does it protect the skins own stem cells, but has been shown to have excellent age-delaying and anti-wrinkle properties. This unique formula will help to repair the stresses and protect the skin against further damage.

Hollywood has also discovered this “Super Apple” too. Stars such as Gwyneth Paltrow, Julianne Moore, Helen Mirren and Jennifer Lopez, are reported to use anti-aging products that contain the Swiss Apple Stem Cell. It is currently one of the most pioneering and exciting ingredients in skin care today.
