Abstract

The recent upsurge in use of herbal medicines and cosmetics is based on new technical inputs that include the use of biologically active ingredients, genetic study for individual skin care, regenerative therapies, and tissue engineering. The biological active ingredients not only use in skin care products but also for use in various dermatological disorders. A healthy balanced mind and body are associated with muscle, bone, skin, hair, nails, subcutaneous tissues, and glands. The stem cells can be nudged to develop into specialized cell types to regenerate tissue. Cosmetics nowadays take advantage from those technologies for achieving healthy results. One of them is stem cell technology; the idea behind using stem cells is that they stimulate the growth of more stem cells in skin. Plant stem cell extracts act as an active ingredient in cosmetics due to the biologically beneficial properties; therefore, some researchers have focus toward stem cells for cosmetic formulation preparations. There is a concern about harmful chemical used in personal care products which has increased consumer interest in naturally prepared cosmetics formulations. Many biotech companies are manufacturing anti-aging, skin soothing, acne-prone personal care products from biologically active ingredients derived from plants. The present review focuses on biotechnologically prepared plant stem cells for production of active ingredients in cosmetic industry for keeping skin looking youthful.
