MyChelle: Harness the Power of Apple Plant Stem Cells for Great-Looking Skin by Belinda Lichty Clarke

MyChelle is a Louisville-based natural skin-care company that's based on clean, natural bioactives, including derivatives from one of the most perfect fruits – the apple! 

"Our Apple Brightening Serum includes PhytoCellTec™ Malus Domestica, a sustainable liposomal ingredient based on the stem cells of a rare Swiss apple," says Catie Wiggy, director of product innovation. "Fun fact: This particular ingredient was the first plant stem-cell-active ingredient on the market whose effect got evaluated on human skin stem cells. It's shown to protect the longevity of the skin, delay senescence of essential cells, increase the vitality of the skin and combat the visible appearance of chronological aging."

The Apple Brightening Serum also features Algowhite – a plant-based marine extract shown to target the look of discoloration, while green apple fruit extract (Applephenon™), which contains 10 times the level of polyphenol found in ripe apples, refines and rejuvenates the skin, adds Wiggy. “Additionally, a healthy dose of niacinamide vitamin B3 helps to improve oxygenation and prevents water loss and helps reduce the occurrence of breakouts."
