About

The growth medium from cultured human hair follicle cells, containing follicle-derived signals that may influence hair and scalp health.

Human hair follicle cell conditioned media is restricted under EU Annex II/416 for materials of human origin. Hair follicle cells are typically sourced from cosmetic surgery waste. The secretome contains follicle-specific growth factors including keratinocyte growth factor (KGF) and insulin-like growth factors. Commercial use in the EU requires documented safety evaluation and compliance with tissue traceability requirements.
