Stem cell science is dominating the luxury skin-care market as human-derived ingredients become less taboo

As regenerative health and longevity grow in popularity among consumers, the luxury skin-care market has become increasingly more impacted by stem cell science. Just this year, luxury retailers like Nordstrom, Violet Grey, Saks Fifth Avenue and Bergdorf Goodman have doubled down on brands fueled by the once-controversial science, which includes both human-derived and biomimetic ingredients. As brands like Eighth Day, Angela Caglia Skincare, Dr. Diamond’s Metacine, Biologique Recherche and FactorFive chart growth, consumers are prompted to replace antioxidants and exfoliants for science-backed growth factors that promise to regenerate the skin with fewer steps and products.
