Stem Cells in Cosmetic Applications: Advancements, Challenges, and Future Directions via Wiley Online library

Biotechnology has greatly affected the cosmetic field by creating new ways to produce active ingredients that can slow down skin aging. One important research area today is plant stem cells, especially their use in cosmetic product formulation and their effects on the skin. Plants have a powerful regenerative ability, allowing them to repair damaged tissues and even grow into new plants under stressful conditions . In 1902, the Austrian botanist Gottlieb Haberlandt first explained that callus tissue can form from fully developed plant cells and suggested that every plant cell can regenerate a whole plant. Later research showed that auxins help in forming roots from callus, while cytokinins are mainly responsible for stem formation.
