All four products in the professional-only range contain this patented protein mix. The extract consists of a mixture, in specific proportions, of cytokines, growth factors, extracellular matrix proteins, amino acids, peptides and other proteins. They represent the full complement of proteins that are generated by the umbilical cord lining mesenchymal stem cells. These stem cells have the potential to increase epidermal cell turnover, reduce the appearance of pigmentation, fines lines and redness, and improve skin elasticity.
