BUCHS, Switzerland—Mibelle Biochemistry introduced PhytoCellTec™ Solar Vitis, a powder based on the stem cells of a red-flesh grape tolerant to strong UV radiation, cultivar of Gamay. Stem cells from this cultivar were obtained using PhytoCellTec technology and were then incorporated in a water-soluble powder. These grape stem cells contain epigenetic factors and metabolites, which are able to protect human skin stem cells against UV radiation. Using a novel Progenitor Cell Targeting technology, PhytoCellTec Solar Vitis was shown to: help the skin stem cells to maintain their stem cell characteristics and protect cells against the stresses induced by UV.
