About
Extracellular vesicles harvested from cultured deer velvet mesenchymal cells. Novel, animal-derived, and not assessed by major cosmetic safety bodies.
Deer velvet is the soft, vascularized covering of growing antlers; its mesenchymal cells are rich in signaling molecules in vivo. For cosmetics, these cells are cultured and their secreted vesicles are ultracentrifuged out. Suppliers pitch growth-factor-like cargo for regeneration, but independent efficacy and safety data is scarce and there is no CIR or SCCS assessment. Cervid-derived tissue carries theoretical TSE/prion questions that cosmetic regulators have not systematically addressed. Functionally similar to the antler-cell vesicle grade and subject to the same caveats.
