About
Conditioned media from deer-antler-blood cell cultures. Novel animal-origin ingredient with major regulatory, safety and ethical issues.
This ingredient is the conditioned culture medium from cells cultured with deer-antler (velvet) blood as a growth factor source. It is marketed for regenerative skin claims. Major issues: deer are a cervid — subject to chronic-wasting-disease (prion) concerns that trigger tight regulatory controls on animal-origin materials. Cosmetic conditioned-media and growth-factor ingredients are under increasing regulatory scrutiny (similar to the exosome category). No CIR or SCCS review. Animal-welfare and ethical concerns around velvet-antler harvesting. Proprietary efficacy claims not independently validated.
