1. Why when Googling "apple stem cells in cosmetics" there are no scientific articles? After 8 pages of results I gave up looking. Only found cosmetic websites, cosmetic magazines or stories in newspapers. Not one medical or scientific reference. Why is that?
2. Why when Googling "Uttwiler Spätlauber" the breed of special apple the same thing is true. Not one scientific article or article related to botany (science of plants) but only things from cosmetic companies and cosmetic magazines?
3. From http://www.bostonmagazine.com/health/blog/2013/01/08/stem-cell-face-creams/: "To date, none of these companies have published any significant data in the literature that proves their effectiveness." Why is that?
4. An Australian professor and researcher in the area of stem cell research Professor John Rasko said it is not even possible or logical that a stem cell from an apple or a plant would have any benefit on a human skin, “or anywhere else for that matter.” He continued to explain tha to the untrained eye “it looks like there’s a lot of science,” but to him it appears as “illogical and pseudoscience. I’d say this is on the borderline of entirely bogus.” The stem cells in plants can't interact or ‘communicate’ with human stem cells.

Now, looking at the Malaysian website for the product - https://www.iphytoscience.com/eng/triplestemcell_shine.asp
1. Crocus chrysanthus bulb extract
A material that has won Innovation Award 2012 European Invention. --> I challenge you to find this award ceremony and winner. It doesn't exist.
So this is fake. Even the use of the English is clumsy and not native English - "Innovation Award 2012 European Invention". But okay, the closest thing is the European Inventor Award 2012. But this is not one of the five winners (http://www.epo.org/news-issues/news/2012/20120614.htm )
2. Apple stem cell
I challenge you to find any reference to this research or any articles about this research or any results from this research or anything that supports this claim except for the statement from the company:
"It is developed by the renowned Chief scientist of Mibelle Biochemistry, Dr. Fred Zulli. The apple stem cell of this specific species can activate 80% stem cells from hibernation in human body and it delays aging."
3. Argania Spinosa (Moroccan argan) stem cell.
Again, I challenge you to find the research on this claim:
"The world’s first bioactive ingredient which has been scientifically proven to protect and activate dermal stem cells. It rejuvenates dermal stem cells from deep level, firms the skin and reduces wrinkles up to 26%."
