Plant Stem Cells and Acne

Want to know a secret? A pretty little flower (Echinacea) and a flowering bush (Lilac) together hold the power to combat some of the unfortunate side effects of acne.

Lira Clinical’s ICE line has many wonderfully beneficial ingredients woven into each formulation. The reason the line has won so many awards is because each product addresses skin health that may have been interrupted by acne. Some ingredients are tried and true for addressing acne consequences while others are quite unique and surprising. A true illustration of Science Discovering Nature’s Secrets is the use of Plant Stem Cells in Lira Clinical formulations, especially Lilac and Echinacea PSC in the ICE Line.

Echinacea is well known to positively affect health, specifically immunity. It makes sense that a powerful immune-boosting ingredient would be incorporated in Lira Clinical ICE line formulations as acne compromises defenses. However, an added benefit is the specific chemical constituents of Echinacea PSC also positively influences collagen stimulation, elasticity, and hydration, all of which are compromised with acne.

Lilac (syringa vulgaris) has a long history of medicinal properties. The leaves and fruit of this beautiful plant have been used to control fever, disease, and skin disorders for centuries. This can be contributed to a defense molecule Verbascoside (pronounced Ver-bask-o-side). This highly studied phenylpropanoid is highly effective in humans as a cellular protectant when applied topically. Studies have shown that the Lilac PSC specifically used in Lira Clinical formulations have resulted in a 40% decrease in acne lesions after 30 days. It regulates sebum production, and has antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory and tyrosinase inhibiting properties, making it an excellent ingredient for addressing inflammation and trauma pigment caused by acne lesions.

Plant Stem Cell technology involves many complex methods that ensures growth of plant cells and tissues with microbe-free nutrients. Procuring and propagating plant stem cells not only holds benefit for the skin, but is also a sustainable alternative to traditional botanical harvesting. (Yay sustainability!)

Including deliberate Plant Stem Cells in Lira Clinical formulations is intended to have a specific influence on the functions of the skin. Acne should not be simplified by only considering an over production of oil. Side effects like inflammation, pigmentation, and a risk of textural changes require the attention of comprehensive formulations that incorporate influential ingredients like Echinacea and Lilac PSC. This approach is how Lira Clinical achieves bright and beautiful skin!
