Stem Cells
Stem cells have the potential to both replicate themselves and differentiate into specific cell types. The play a pivotal role in helping to rejuvenate and regenerate damaged cells in order to maintain healthy skin. They achieve this by releasing capsules called exosomes, which contain messaging signals such as growth factors, cytokines and peptides. Stem cell numbers decrease as we age, as does their ability to communicate with other cells. PTT-6®, the key active ingredient of Sollagen™, provides an alternative source of stem cell messaging signals.
Cord Lining Stem Cells
PTT-6® is derived from Cord Lining stem cells, which are the most potent & plentiful source of stem cells in the world - 12 billion stem cells are extracted from just 1 cord lining. Cord Lining stem cells are also of the highest quality due to their youthfulness, which increases the efficiency & effectiveness of the messaging signals they release. Our scientists utilise our patented techniques to ensure that we obtain the messaging signals of these powerful Cord Lining stem cells at a 99% purity level.
PTT-6®
PTT-6® is a novel active ingredient complex derived from the most powerful source of stem cells in the world. PTT-6® does not contain any stem cells; it is the secretion of these stem cells that contains all the powerful active ingredients. One millilitre of PTT-6® contains over 3,000 messaging signals such as Growth Factors, Cytokines, Peptides & Exosomes. These enable effective ‘cell talk’ with skin cells, promoting skin barrier repair and wound healing through increased skin cell turnover, cell proliferation and migration. All Sollagen™ products contain PTT-6®.
What's In PTT-6®?
PTT-6® contains stem cell-derived signalling molecules — including PDGF-AA, PDGF-BB, Fibroblast, Insulin-like, Keratinocyte, Vascular Endothelial, and Transforming Growth Factors, plus the anti-inflammatory cytokine Interleukin-10 — that together drive skin cell turnover, extracellular matrix formation, angiogenesis, and regenerative wound healing.
The Sollagen™ Story
Sollagen™’s parent company, CellResearch Corporation, was initially founded as a contract research organization. In 2004, stem cells within mammalian umbilical cord lining were discovered (now patented by our company). After much research, the epithelial and mesenchymal stem cells in this source were found to be incredibly effective in skin repair and regeneration. Early research focused on chronic and hard-to-heal wounds, while Sollagen™ was born in 2022 as a science-led cosmetic skincare brand designed for high-need, compromised and problem-prone skin.
