Effectiveness and Legality of Sheep Placenta in Cosmetics
Question
Regarding sheep placenta as a cosmetic ingredient, does it truly help make skin bouncy and reduce wrinkles? What are the considerations regarding its use and legality?
Answer
Regarding your question about whether sheep placenta can truly make skin bouncy and reduce wrinkles:
According to information, true sheep placenta contains high levels of hormones like estrogen and progesterone. These hormones are known to potentially make skin firm and reduce wrinkles.
However, using hormones in cosmetics is considered dangerous and is illegal worldwide due to research linking them to tumors and breast cancer.
Therefore, for sheep placenta to be legally used as a cosmetic ingredient, these hormones must be removed during the extraction process.
This means that legally compliant and safe sheep placenta cosmetic products, which have had the hormones removed, will not provide the skin-firming and wrinkle-reducing effects that are attributed to the hormones found in true sheep placenta.
