London:
Beauty products including face creams and shampoos that contain extracts of animal
placenta are becoming increasingly popular.
It has been claimed that the structure, also known as afterbirth, which forms around the fetus
in the first stage of all mammalian pregnancies, can help rejuvenate body cells and ward off
signs of aging.
Now, it is being used in new haircare products.
La Bella shampoo and conditioner, stocked at several retailers including Amazon.com and
Walgreens claims to contain a ‘special placenta enzyme’, which will help restore ‘shine and
bounce’ to hair, the Daily Mail reported.
Both products use extracts of cow and sheep placenta in their formulations.
The practice of using placenta on the hair and skin is believed to have been popular in ancient
Egypt , while Marie Antoinette is believed to have consumed it as a nutritious drink. |
