What is Human Stem Cell Conditioned Media? Plus, How It Benefits Your Skin

Updated: October 30th, 2024By Elena ToranoScientific Review by Juliana Durack and Larry WeissWe have entered the era of medical-grade skincare being readily available and reachable on our at-home vanity. This incredible access to potent treatments and novel ingredients lets us take comprehensive care of our skin, with the power to heal, slow-aging, and soothe inflamed skin. At the forefront of popular dermatologist-loved formulations are human stem cells and their by-product, the rich media. At Symbiome, Human Adipose Stem Cell Conditioned Media is a major player in two of our best-sellers – The Answer Reparative Serum and The Essence Rejuvenating Mist –  due to 40 years of peer-reviewed research and a stunning 50% concentration of cellularly-communicating compounds in our serum. Along with enhanced collagen and deep tissue repair, Symbiome skincare helps restore skin’s health and radiance in an intentional way that respects our biological functioning as well as our environment. 

So What Are Stem Cells?

Take a look at your skin today. Every cell you see will be completely renewed in a matter of weeks via a process that slows down as we age, called skin turnover. Behind this constant renewal are pluripotent stem cells, located deep in the basal layer of your skin. These versatile cells can grow into any type of specialized skin cell, helping your skin repair itself from damage due to UV exposure, injury, and daily wear and tear. This regenerative ability is what makes stem cells so vital for preserving healthy, resilient skin. The more you have dedicated to maintaining structures like elastin fibers, the more bouncy and full your skin will appear. 

What Is Stem Cell Conditioned Media?

It’s important to note the difference between a stem cell and stem cell conditioned media (SCCM). Stem cells themselves are not nearly as stable, and they are hard to keep alive in cosmetic formulations. SCCM on the other hand is everything a stem cell produces: a rich mixture of peptides, cytokines, growth factors, exosomes, lipids, and nutrients – all of which are the main players in natural renewal and consistent collagen production. Thus, our SCCM does not contain live cells; it is rich in the bioactive ingredients your skin needs to stay supple and radiant.

Where Does Stem Cell Conditioned Media Come From?

Our Human Adipose SCCM is ethically derived from a live culture of human adipose (fat) stem cells, from a singular healthy adult volunteer in California. The volunteer was screened for any genetic disease markers, and the age and profile of the donor was overseen by registered independent Medical Institutional Review Boards (IRB). Once the cells are extracted, the SCCM is manufactured under strict cGMP conditions at an FDA compliant facility. Our media is subject to the same rigorous quality control testing as a pharmaceutical application. This is the gold standard and we encourage you to keep brands accountable and inquire about their sourcing if using similar treatment products.

Benefits of Stem Cell Conditioned Media

Stem Cell Conditioned Media offers a range of deeply transformative benefits for your skin. These include:
  • Smoothing Fine Lines. SCCM helps prevent degradation of collagen, enabling a smoother complexion.
  • Improving Healthy Radiance. The nutrients and growth factors in SCCM work at the deepest layer to ensure a healthy, luminous glow.
  • Fading Dark Spots and Sun Damage. Media helps to repair and fade sun-induced pigmentation, simultaneously defending from further degeneration.
  • Supporting Skin’s Natural Regeneration. SCCM works to synchronize cell renewal, promoting even skin feel and texture.

Key Components of Stem Cell Conditioned Media

With so many bioactive compounds, let’s be clear in our definitions: Growth Factors: Proteins that stimulate cell growth and repair.Peptides: Short chains of amino acids that boost collagen and rejuvenate skin.Exosomes: Tiny vesicles that transport proteins, lipids, and RNA between cells, aiding communication and synchronization in cell regeneration.Cytokines: Signaling proteins that help regulate immune responses and inflammation, promoting skin healing.Lipids and Nutrients: Essential building blocks that keep skin hydrated and supple.

Human vs. Plant Stem Cells in Skincare

While plant stem cells are becoming more common, they do not have the same regenerative abilities as human stem cells. Human SCCM is far more effective in promoting skin renewal and combating signs of aging because like calls to like. Plant stem cells, however, can provide antioxidant benefits and are still beneficial for overall skin health or in complementing anti-aging treatments.

Highlighting The Answer Reparative Serum

The Answer Reparative Serum contains 50% Stem Cell Conditioned Media, along with just five other natural ingredients, making it one of the most effective treatment products on the market. This seemingly simple yet powerful formulation targets key aging concerns, and is used in both repair and prevention. Commonly integrated post-cleanse, it’s suitable for all skin types, including temperamental skin, leaving your foundation smooth, glowing, and maximally prepared in the face of external stressors.

In Summary

Stem Cell Conditioned Media (SCCM) is becoming an essential ingredient in advanced skincare formulations, renowned for its ability to enhance skin's health and ensure a youthful complexion. SCCM promotes collagen synthesis, accelerates wound healing and reduces scarring, while optimizing moisture retention and plumpness. Additionally, SCCM's anti-inflammatory benefits help soothe irritation and reduce redness, making it suitable for sensitive skin. If you want to rejuvenate your skin, you must embrace this impressive ingredient in your daily ritual.
