Fruit acids have been used in the beauty industry for a long time but whether they can possibly help hair growth in the future stretches the imagination. Senior hair loss specialist at the Belgravia Centre, Leonora Doclis, says, “This is really a long shot when it comes to hair loss. But is this an indicator that the extract could prevent hair loss? Tests on 20 women using a cream with 2% of the apple extract showed that crows feet were reduced by 8% after two weeks and 15% after four weeks.īut what about hair growth? Hair follicles that were kept in a solution of the apple extract continued to grow for 18 days compared to those kept in a normal solution, which died after 14. The human cells were irradiated with UV light, which killed 50% of those grown in a normal liquid culture, but hardly any of those protected by the apple stem cells. A solution containing 1% apple stem cells appeared to boost human stem cell production by a phenomenal 80%. The scientists then grew these cells in a liquid culture and tested them on human stem cells. The apple formed a protective surface layer made from plant stem cells. Swiss scientists discovered its benefits by cutting pieces of the apple and seeing how it responded. The extract (called PhytoCellTec Malus Domestica) comes from a rare 18th century species of apple tree, the Uttwiler Spatlauber. Medical research is using human stem cells to explore a range of possibilities (including hair restoration) however it is illegal to use embryonic stem cells in cosmetics.

The cosmetic companies using this ingredient say that they can scientifically prove that plant stem cells can be added to skin creams and interact with human skin stem cells which lead to fewer wrinkles and younger looking skin. An apple a day keeps the doctor away, so the saying goes, but can an apple a day keep hair loss away? Some scientists are claiming it might, if it is a particular rare variety that comes from Switzerland, which is believed to reverse skin aging, increase the lifespan of human cells and possibly re-grow lost hair.
