Placental Protein
What Placental Protein is & what it does

It is generally used in anti-aging or conditioning formulas, though modern products increasingly favor plant- or bio-fermented alternatives. Because its exact composition varies with source, it is best understood as a general conditioning protein. It appears in a couple of catalog products, with no specific concerns flagged.
