About
Growth medium collected from cultured human skin cells, containing secreted proteins and growth factors that may support skin renewal.
Human fibroblast conditioned media is regulated under EU Annex II/416, which restricts the use of materials of human origin in cosmetics pending further safety evaluation. The media contains undefined secreted factors including cytokines, growth factors and extracellular matrix proteins. If fetal bovine serum is used in the culture process it must also comply with EU animal by-product regulations.
