Why we rely on stem cells from plants
Plant stem cells in skincare: a fast trend or the future?
Hand on heart: Keeping track of all the trends and new "miracle" ingredients in skincare can get quite confusing. But some innovations are more than just a short hype – because they enable fundamental changes. This is exactly the case with plant stem cells in skincare! They combine cutting-edge research and scientific findings with the natural regenerative power of plants – for protection, skin renewal, and well-aging all in one. And all in a resource-friendly way!

What exactly are plant stem cells?
Plant stem cells are special cells in plants that can easily regenerate. In plants, these stem cells are usually located in the roots or leaves – where growth occurs.
For cosmetics, they are extracted using a gentle and sustainable process without destroying the plant. When cut, a cell mass forms from which stem cells can be taken – and these are then further multiplied in the laboratory.
This makes them not only particularly effective but also vegan, resource-saving, and sustainable.
Effects of stem cells on the skin
And why are plant stem cells now so exciting for cosmetics and skincare?
- Their ingredients stimulate the division of human skin stem cells and thus support the renewal of our skin cells, allowing the skin to regenerate better from within.
- They protect the cells from oxidative stress and free radicals as well as from UV radiation and environmental pollutants.
- They promote collagen production and strengthen the skin barrier.
In this way, they help improve skin structure and make the overall complexion appear fresher and more even. Additionally, skin aging is gently slowed down – which fits very well with our approach to well-aging! Because at JACKS, we do not rely on classic anti-aging in skincare, but on a holistic, healthy approach to skin aging.
Why we chose plant stem cells
When further developing our skincare line, it was clear to us: we want skincare that truly works. Without compromises on sustainability – because that also characterizes our brushes and cosmetics.
We also use classic active ingredients like hyaluronic acid, retinol, or vitamin C – and they are undoubtedly effective. But plant stem cells bring an additional, holistic effect: they combine high performance with an innovative, sustainable approach.
These three plants are at the center
We rely on three selected plants whose stem cells have proven regenerative and protective properties to holistically support skin health:
Mung bean – Protective shield for your skin
The mung bean is a true source of active ingredients for protection and regeneration:
- Has anti-inflammatory effects
- Supports skin structure by promoting collagen production
- Reduces UV-induced skin redness
- Protects against free radicals, blue light, and infrared radiation
Alpenrose – for resilient skin
The alpine rose grows at extreme altitudes and is therefore perfect for making the skin resilient:
- Strengthens the vitality of epidermal stem cells
- Protects against UV-induced stress
- Reduces transepidermal water loss (TEWL)
- Preserves the skin barrier from cold, wind, and dryness
- Soothes wrinkles and crow's feet
- Reduces redness and skin irritations
- Improves skin radiance
Goji Berry – Energy Booster for Firm Skin
The goji berry is known for its high antioxidant content and acts like a real "power boost" for the skin:
- Increases the production of collagen and elastin
- Improves skin density and elasticity
- Firms facial contours and promotes the V-shape of the face
- Reduces fine wrinkles as well as deeper lines
Conclusion: More than a trend – a real gamechanger in skincare
For us, it is clear: plant stem cells in skincare are not a short-term, fleeting trend, but a decision for the future.
In combination with proven active ingredients, we are setting a new standard that – we are convinced! – will shape the way skincare is designed in the long term. It’s not just about short-term care, but sustainable support for healthy, resilient, and radiant skin. And all this without putting additional strain on scarce resources.
