Stem Cell Skin Cream Video: Care for Your Skin with Lifeline Skin Care

Lifeline Skin Care® (Lifeline) is a wholly owned subsidiary of International Stem Cell Corporation (OTCBB:ISCO), a publicly traded biotechnology company which has developed a powerful and ethical new stem cell technology called “parthenogenesis”.  ISCO created Lifeline Skin Care® to further develop its discoveries that extracts from human parthenogenetic stem cells had beneficial effects on human skin cells.

International Stem Cell is focused on advancing its human parthenogenetic stem cell technology towards finding treatments for blinding diseases of the eye, liver disease, diseases of the nervous system and diabetes.

Our goal at Lifeline Skin Care® is to help individuals improve the look and feel of their skin by combining the latest discoveries in the fields of stem cell biology, nanotechnology and skin cream formulation technology to create the highest quality, scientifically tested and most effective skin care products.

Video: "The Promising Cells" presented by International Stem Cell Corporation

In this video presentation, see and hear an overview of International Stem Cell Corporation (ISCO.OB). ISCO has developed a process to derive stem cells similar to Embryonic Stem Cells without the need for fertilized embryos and with minimal exposure to non-human cells. These factors provide ISC a unique leadership role in the field of regenerative cell therapy. You'll hear directly from Executive Chairman, Kenneth Aldrich. Lifeline Cell Technology and Skin Care Products, revenue generating units of ISCO are also reviewed.

This presentation was produced by Big Sky Productions, INC (BGSI.OB), Co-Executive Producers Ellis Martin and Bob Lange. contact: bigskymedia@yahoo.com

Lifeline Skin Care: The Science Of Stem Cells



Stem cells are immortal cells that can both proliferate (divide) and change (differentiate) into more specialized cells such as skin, liver or blood cells.  The most powerful stem cells are known as “pluripotent” because they have the potential to become any cell in the body.  The first pluripotent stem cells to be studied were embryonic stem cells, but because creating embryonic stem cells involves the destruction of a fertilized human embryo, many people have ethical concerns about the use of such cells.  To avoid any such ethical concerns, Lifeline Skin Care® uses instead a proprietary extract from a different class of pluripotent stem cells called parthenogenetic stem cells.  As a result, a user of our serum need never be concerned that a viable human embryo was damaged or destroyed to create the product.

The ability of pluripotent stem cells to divide an unlimited number of times seemingly without showing signs of aging or changing is because of a unique enzyme called telomerase.  The DNA molecules of normal cells (including some stem cells) get slightly shorter each time the cell divides, eventually reaching a point where the cell dies.  Telomerase’s job is to constantly rebuild the end of the cells’ DNA after they divide, but in normal adult tissue (except blood and certain other types of tissue in the immune system) the enzyme is not present in sufficient concentrations to stop the cells dying over time.  Only parthenogenetic and embryonic stem cells possess enough telomerase to make them effectively immortal.

The human parthenogenetic stem cells we use were created by our parent company International Stem Cell Corporation, the world leader in the use of human parthenogenetic stem cell technology to search for ways of treating human disease using stem cell technology.

Check the Expiration Date on Your Sunscreen!

Planning on taking one more sunny vacation this summer? 

Be sure to check the expiration date on your sunscreen. They generally have a three year dating system, so they may not be effective beyond that expiration date. The chemical sunscreens (like PABA and avobenzone) are particularly unstable.

Why Do People Have Puffy Eyes After 40?


The reason that people 40+ have puffy eyes is not lack of sleep, it's that the fat pads under your eyes start to bulge.  Solution: use an eye cream with caffeine or rosemary, or use cool compresses.  Fat - it's the bane of our existence!  Who knew that you have fat pads under your eyes?

Eat a Salad For Lunch!


According to Dr. Oz's RealAge, the same stuff that's good for your skin (leafy greens, omega-3 fatty acids and nuts) will also help prevent macular degeneration. So what does that have to do with Lifeline? International Stem Cell (Lifeline's parent company) is working on new lines of stem cells that will prevent or correct macular degeneration.
