Minimalistic Skincare Backed By Biomimetics Ft. MICHAL MORRISON Skincare- E.420
Send us Fan MailLet’s ChatJoin us for a chat with the founder of @michalmorrisonskincare as she shares the story behind the creation of the Genesis βSTEM6TM Molecular Serum, which aims to define and lead a new category of biomimetic skincare technology with its proven, proprietary, and patent-pending βSTEM6 molecule. This biotech breakthrough has a mechanism of action validated by 25 years of research in stem cell science and regenerative medicine from the laboratory of Dr. Michael Kahn. The βSTEM6 molecule will be exclusively available in Michal Morrison products. The company was founded by Austin-based entrepreneur Michal Ann Morrison, who previously survived a Traumatic Brain Injury in 2016 and has since become a passionate advocate for people with disabilities. βSTEM6 is a nextgen, patent-pending ‘metamoleculeTM’ that restores the self-rejuvenating power of our skin that has diminished over time. The result of over two decades of research in regenerative medicine and recent advances in stem cell science, βSTEM6 uses your biology’s inherent potential to extend cell longevity. As the first and only bioserum with βSTEM6, this molecular superpower works with the skin’s chemistry to awaken the millions of cells responsible for healthy-looking skin. A formal and independent clinical study was conducted by one of the country’s preeminent board-certified dermatologists and President of Dermatology Consulting Services, PLLC, Dr. Zoe Draelos, M.D. The study demonstrated dramatic improvements in the multiple signs of skin aging such as facial lines, wrinkles, loss of elasticity and uneven pigmentation. The inspiration for the development of the company’s proprietary and patent-pending intellectual property, the βSTEM6 molecule, was Michal’s association with Dr. Fuqiang Ruan, an innovative scientist with a doctorate in Synthetic Organic Chemistry who had previously worked in Dr. Kahn’s laboratory. Dr. Michael Kahn is currently Professor of Cancer Biology and Molecular Medicine at the Beckman Research Institute, City of Hope.--- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/skincareanarchy/messageSupport this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/skincareanarchy/supportSupport the Show.Follow The Show On All Socials Using The Tag @skincareanarchy Hosted on Acast.
