Functions
Emollient
Fills in the tiny cracks between skin cells to make everything feel smooth and soft. The "silky finish" ingredient.
Antioxidant
Fights free radicals — the unstable molecules from UV, pollution, and stress that break down collagen and cause premature aging.
Soothing
Calms redness, irritation, and inflammation. Your skin's chill pill — great for sensitive, reactive, or post-procedure skin.
Locks In Moisture
Traditional Use
Placental lipids in cosmetics emerged in early-to-mid 20th century skincare products, primarily in European markets. Their cosmetic use was based on speculative anti-aging claims rather than traditional medicine practices.
