About
The growth medium from cultured mesenchymal stem cells isolated from human umbilical cord Wharton's jelly, one of the most ethically acceptable human MSC sources.
Human umbilical Wharton's jelly MSC conditioned media is restricted under EU Annex II/416 as a material of human origin. Wharton's jelly is the standard name for the mucoid connective tissue of the umbilical cord. MSCs from this source are extensively studied and the secretome is well characterised. The ingredient is sourced from birth tissue with maternal consent, making it one of the least ethically contentious human cell sources. Full EU compliance requires documented donor consent, pathogen screening and safety evaluation.
Skin benefits

- Considered one of the most scientifically robust human cell media options
Known concerns
- EU Annex II/416 restriction

- Batch variability from primary MSC culture
