Our latest Beauty Boss is Dr. Nathan Newman, Founder of The Stem Company— an innovative plant stem cell skincare line developed in his own lab. A Board-Certified dermatologist and cosmetic surgeon with his practice based in Beverly Hills, Dr. Newman is a renowned expert on groundbreaking stem cell-based treatments and a trusted voice in regenerative medicine.
Combining years of scientific research with biointelligent plant-based ingredients, The Stem Company’s product formulas support the skin’s natural renewal processes and are free of harmful ingredients. The line is powered by proprietary Consortia Factors Technology, a scientific breakthrough which consists of exosomes, natural peptides, beneficial metabolites, and secretory factors that work synergistically to balance and revitalize skin.
Dr. Newman also offers a wide range of skincare and cosmetic treatments at his Beverly Hills office including his popular Stem Cell Lift, a procedure that uses stem cells from patients’ own fat to reverse the signs of aging in a natural and effective way. Not only does the treatment restore volume loss while lifting the skin but the powerful stem cells also rejuvenate complexions so that skin glows with renewed smoothness and hydration.
We chatted with Newman, who shared the inspiration behind the brand, secrets for success, wellness tips, and much more.
When was The Stem Company founded and what does the name mean?
As a board-certified dermatologist, cosmetic surgeon, and scientist at heart, who always looks for ways to improve lives and find solutions for my patients, I dedicate my medical career to research and development and became a global authority in stem cell regenerative science. This deep commitment lead me to invent the proprietary medical method Stem Cell Lift®, which redefined aesthetic medicine through natural rejuvenation powered by the body’s own regenerative cells.
To advance this Stem Cell technology and make it available for more people, I founded The Stem Company in November 2023. It is a new paradigm in regenerative skincare science as an only-of-its-kind Stem Cell-derived face and body line. Its hero product, the Stem Regenerative Serum, embodies our core values to make regenerative science accessible to all skin types and ages. The name STEM stands for : Science, Technology, Education and Mentoring, and is on a global mission to cultivate stem cell culture.
The Stem Company is a brand that bridges medical innovation and consumer wellness through bio-intelligent plant products and is meant to raise awareness and educate about human stem cell therapies and technology.

What inspired the creation of the brand?
The inspiration for the brand stems from my commitment to the betterment of humanity through medicine and technology. By founding The Stem Company, we aim to share the discovery that stem cells are found in every tissue of the body and responsible for the repair and regeneration, with the public.
They release bioactive molecules such as peptides, exosomes, growth factors, anti-inflammatory factors, etc. In wound healing, these bioactive molecules stimulate collagen production, promote blood vessel formation, and reduce inflammation. These properties make stem cells an invaluable tool in both regenerative medicine and skincare, as they can restore damaged tissues and improve the overall health and vitality of the skin.
One of the most significant discoveries we made in my 20 +years working with stem cells, is the discovery that plant stem cells behave very similar to human cells as they communicate using a universal language. Our discovery that bioactive molecules shared by both human and plant cells, to carry out their functions, is revolutionary and redefines self care. It allows us to develop plant based Stem Cells based regenerative products.
This led to my development of a patented process that mentors any type of stem cell, whether plant or human, to release a unique set of unaltered bioactive molecules with specific instructions called consortia factors. These factors are naturally produced and provide a comprehensive set of directions designed to work with your body, not at your body.
As explained, the potential of stem cell therapy as a primary solution in regenerative medicine is invaluable and promising. By founding The Stem Company we strive to share the knowledge and make regenerative medicine available to all.

This truly is a breakthrough in bio-intelligent skincare due to the breakthrough technology and the unprecedented high-quality and bio active concentration — a 90% active serum — that delivers pure regenerative power to the face, eyes, and décolleté. Infused with Consortia Factors®, including UCFxF, exosomes, and youth-messaging peptides, it visibly promotes improved skin structure renewal while training the skin to behave like it did in its prime.

Who inspires you?
My patients are my biggest inspiration and my greatest teachers. Many of my patients experience challenges that extend far beyond cosmetic concerns. They often face complex emotional and physical journeys tied to their health and well-being. While the visible benefits of procedures like the Stem Cell Lift® offer rejuvenation and restored confidence, the true impact often lies much deeper than the surface.

I find solace in reading, losing myself in texts that inspire, educate, or simply allow me to escape into different worlds. Equally, I cherish spending quality time with my family, those precious moments of connection and shared experience that nourish the soul. I believe true relaxation comes from appreciating the small, simple moments that are often rare and fleeting, whether it’s a quiet walk, a warm conversation, or a peaceful pause amidst a busy day. These moments remind me to be present, grounded, and grateful, fostering a sense of balance and rejuvenation in life.
