Stem Cell Beauty: Stem cells are increasingly being infused into skincare products that range from serums to chocolate bars, for the ultimate goal of fighting free radicals and stimulating stem cell growth in the skin. Though this concept has existed for some time now, it is picking up in popularity due to brands' need to offer highlighted, specific benefits to distinguish their skincare products.
