SASC SERUM
Swiss apple stem cells (SASCTM pronounced “sassy”), powerful myristoyl peptides, attached to the oilsoluble fatty acid, myristic acid for better bioavailability; castor oil, coconut oil, jojoba oil (see note below)
and vitamin B7 (biotin) infused serum
Fingernails and toenails are made of skin cells. SASC may help skin cells to maintain the capacity to build
new tissues. It is not an actual apple stem cell that is used in formulations; it is the secondary metabolites
produced by the stem cell that may have benefits. “Stem-ulation”, there is some evidence that SASC may
help stimulate epidermal regeneration, but research is ongoing. SASC is rich in epigenetic factors and
metabolites, which may help ensure the longevity of skin cells; has been shown to protect skin stem cells
while also delaying the senescence of hair follicles.
Hair and nails have much in common, both are predominantly epithelial structures derived from skin and
made of fibrous proteins, mainly keratins. The keratins found in the human nail plate are nearly identical
to those in hair, both are made primarily of the hard α-keratin (alpha-keratin). Keratin is a protein that
helps form hair, nails, and outer layer of skin (epidermis). Several specific nutrients are essential for
keratin synthesis, including protein, biotin, and vitamin A.
Myristoyl hexapeptide-16 (MH-16) and myristoyl pentapeptide-17 (MP-17) are known to significantly
stimulate keratin genes; they signal active keratinocytes and melanocytes to produce more keratin, the
super important structural protein in hair, nails, and the outermost layer of skin. MH-16 helps boost
keratin levels for improved nail growth, and MP-17 can help strengthen nails by stimulating keratin genes.
Vitamin B7 (biotin) is made up of protein and amino acids, two things that support keratin production in
the body. Studies have shown that biotin may improve nail firmness, hardness, and thickness.
Fatty acid and vitamin E rich castor oil helps with nail growth; vitamin E hydrates cuticles, which
increases blood flow around the region and helps strengthen nail beds and minimizes chipping, and dry or
brittle nails. Medium-chain triglycerides (MCT) oil helps brittle and cracked nails as well as damaged
cuticles because of its moisturizing properties, it is an ideal skin barrier that contains multiple fatty acids,
which act as transepidermal water loss (TEWL) barriers, and may help to prevent fungal infections in
nails.
How to use: Gently massage onto fingernails/toenails and into each cuticle twice a day.

Note: Benefits of jojoba oil in transdermal delivery and its ability to improve passive skin permeation of topical lipophilic actives rapidly and
accurately. Studies show an increase in permeation was nearly 40-fold compared to a similar formulation without jojoba oil.
