LOS ANGELES, May 22, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Kathy Ireland, CEO and Chief Designer of kathy ireland Worldwide (kiWW) and leading women's health advocate, and world-renowned board certified surgeon Dr. David Scharp today announced their collaboration in bringing to the beauty market a stem cell-derived product brand named Stemage. They note that the unique aspect of the natural skin rejuvenation system is that it targets visible signs of aging through the unique and proprietary use of human Mesenchymal stem cell derivatives, not stem cells but rather active ingredients or derivatives of which stem cells are comprised.

It is a first venture into the science of stem cells for Kathy, whose kiWW is the 25th most powerful brand name worldwide on Licensing Global Magazine's top 125 brands list. Ireland's firm designs and markets more than 15,000 individual products throughout the world.

Available as a 3-Step Skin Rejuvenation System, Stemage's core active ingredient is a proprietary stem cell derivative called MDFc19, or Mesenchymal Derived Factor Complex 19. All of the ingredients found in Stemage are either naturally sourced from botanicals and minerals or naturally produced biologically. Stemage addresses skincare challenges associated with aging using these stem cell derivatives and other proven natural ingredients, leaving skin soft, smooth and luminous.

A "supermodel-turned-supermogul," as described by Forbes Magazine in a cover story, Kathy Ireland has long had professional awareness of skin care advancement and a desire to bring that into kiWW's vast product portfolio. She has, she says, spent years searching for a skin care product that met her high standards. After trying the Stemage 3-Step System, Kathy was so impressed that she not only became a regular user, she is now a trusted advisor and ambassador for the product.

"Skin care is one of my passions. My work and my life were impacted by troubled skin. Stemage is new, powerful and extraordinary. Expect to feel and see something different. Our relationship with the researchers and executive team at Stemage is responsible for a strategic alliance, between our two companies.

Stem cells are the next phase of health and personal care. My skin feels healthier, trouble free and finally, I'm able to wear less makeup. I love Stemage. I believe you will too," says Kathy Ireland, CEO and Chief Designer of kathy ireland Worldwide. 

Stemage delivers results through one simple regimen - the 3-Step System:

  • Nano Cleansing Gel with Nanosilver™ – Gentle facial cleanser
  • Cellular Therapy Serum – Rejuvenates skin
  • Cellular Therapy Fluide – Moisturizes and exfoliates

"Stemage is the culmination of more than 40 years of stem cell and molecular biology research," says Dr. David Scharp, world-renowned surgeon, researcher and cellular biologist behind Stemage. "After creating MDFc19 and testing it in a laboratory environment, I was pleased to find that it promoted cellular health very much in keeping with the body's own natural process. It is an incredibly active ingredient and a key discovery of my career."

The Stemage collection includes other premium products such as:

  • Cellular Therapy Eye Creme – proven actives to address puffiness, dark circles and wrinkles
  • Cellular Therapy Ultra-Hydratant Anti-Aging Concentrate – intensive anti-aging night-time moisturizer
  • Cellular Therapy Lip Serum – plumps and moisturizes
  • Cellular Therapy Whole Body Crème – total body skin rejuvenation for the neck, décolleté, hands and more

Stemage contains only adult human stem cell derivatives; there are no embryonic stem cells used in Stemage.

Stemage is packed with organic ingredients and powerful antioxidants. There are no harmful chemicals, petroleum derivatives, sulfates, parabens or formaldehyde donors found in any Stemage products.
