The year 2020 was one of global stress for humans . Although this year may have presented us with unprecedented types of stress , all living creatures always experience some stress . Animals , including humans , and plants live in stressful environments and all organisms are making efforts to survive there .

All types of life have developed , through evolution , techniques that help them survive . Many have special molecules incorporated into their biochemistry for this specific purpose . A surprising fact is that some molecules developed by one species under stress can speak to another species . This is the principle of “ xenohormesis ,” and because of it , some extraordinary substances originating in plants can help human skin .
Extremophiles ( literally translated as “ extreme loving ”) are plants living in extreme environments . One method these plants developed for survival relates to Extremozymes . Extremozymes are plant enzymes evolutionarily developed to protect the vital structures of plants and ensure their survival . Planetary extreme environments include deserts , high mountaintops , ocean bottoms , and volcanic hot pots , and life is found in all these areas . In fact , extremophilic plants not only survive in these locales but thrive there . Much of their survival relates to their Extremozymes that cushion and protect their vital structures , especially DNA . DNA is the genetic material

At present , between five and ten Extremozymes are used in various iS Clinical products .

that must be protected , duplicated , and passed on to the next generation . This guarantees the survival of the species .
TOUGH ENVIRONMENTS MAKE FOR TOUGH PLANTS !
Below is an example of an extremophile , the Resurrection Plant or Rose of Jericho . It appears dead while being blown around by desert winds for decades . But , when the rains come , it turns green and resumes life thanks to its Extremophiles that have protected its DNA through environmental extremes .
RESURRECTION PLANT SEEMS DEAD UNTIL RAINS AWAKEN IT
An Extremozyme from the Resurrection Plant is used in iS Clinical products to help protect human skin from environmental stressors , including sunlight , blue light , dehydration , cold weather , heat , or the stress from intense exercise .
