Placental Cosmetics

Placental cosmetics contain placenta extract and are included in shampoos, conditioners, nourishing creams and moisturizers. Manufacturers are trying to convince buyers that if the placenta nourishes the developing embryo, then its extract rejuvenates and strengthens aging skin.

It is known that the animal placenta is a natural storehouse of unique bioactive compounds. Placenta preparations contain essential amino acids, peptides, trace elements, vitamins and other useful substances.

The placenta is formed mainly from the cells of the fetus and connects the organisms of the mother and fetus. It supplies the fetus with nutrients and protects against harmful factors. But placental tissue cannot be used in its pure form due to the risk of infection and allergies.

For the production of cosmetics, the placenta is processed to obtain a sterile extract without large proteins. The extract accelerates skin regeneration and has a rejuvenating effect.

It is important that the content of placenta extract in cosmetic products does not exceed 5%. Excess can cause unpredictable consequences due to hormonal activity.

Thus, placental drugs, when used correctly, have a pronounced anti-aging, anti-inflammatory and healing effect. But it is important to follow dosages for safe use.
