Origin
Developed from Houttuynia cordata (Chameleon) stem cells using ProliCell® Technology.
What is ProliCell® Technology?
ProliCell® Technology enables to benefit the effects of plant stem cells and small RNAs in their vesicles.
ProliCell ShineStem
ProliCell® ShineStem contains enriched stem cell components and stem cell specific exogenous small RNAs thanks to the elicitor application.
ACTV Biotechnology has developed ProliCell ShineStem as an anti-dark circle active ingredient by combining ProliCell Technology with Chameleon stem cells and their small RNA content-enriched extracellular vesicles.
ProliCell ShineStem Production Process and Mechanism of Effect
Houttuynia cordata cells are incubated with elicitors in their optimum growth phase to ensure the synthesis of EVs rich in targeted small RNAs. EVs containing enriched small RNAs are combined with plant stem cells to obtain ProliCell ShineStem. Small RNAs, also carried by undifferentiated plant cells, take part in communication with different cells, tissues and even organisms when packaged into EVs. With ProliCell ShineStem, the intercellular communication effect of EVs is used to regulate the activity of human skin cells.
ProliCell ShineStem Chameleon cell components and enriched target small RNAs found in EVs influence the expression of relevant genes in human skin cells, stimulating the expression of genes associated with anti-dark circle activity.
SHINESTEM HIGHLIGHTS
How Does ProliCell
ShineStem Effect?
- Provides antioxidant activity by suppressing reactive oxygen derivatives.
- Shows anti-inflammatory activity by inhibiting the production of nitric oxide (NO) and inflammatory cytokines.
- Strengthens the skin barrier by stimulating the expression of genes related to the skin barrier.
- Prevents blood leakage from vessels to tissues.
- Promotes the connective tissue by stimulating elastin synthesis.
- Suppresses excessive melanin synthesis, which causes dark circles under the eyes.
In Vivo Efficacy Test
A study was conducted by applying Anti-dark Circle Cream containing 2% ProliCell ShineStem to the under-eye area of 22 volunteers, aged between 22 and 61 (average 33.3 ±10.2), twice a day for 56 days.
Measurements were recorded before starting treatment (DO), after 4 weeks of treatment (D28) and after 8 weeks of treatment (D56).

Houttuynia cordata Thunb. (Chameleon) has been reported to have effects against oxidative stress and inflammation in many ancient texts in traditional Chinese medicine, Ayurveda, Siddha and traditional Japanese medicine. Houttuynia cordata is also called Dokudami which means poison-blocking plant.
