A moisture magnet. Pulls water from the air and deeper skin layers up to the surface to keep skin plump and hydrated.
Locks In Moisture
Traditional Use
Placental protein became a cosmetic ingredient in the early 20th century, particularly in anti-aging creams marketed in Europe and Japan. This is a modern development with no traditional medical or cosmetic history.
