Caution

Derived from EU CosIng regulatory status, PubChem hazard data and published research. How we score.

An extract of mammalian umbilical-cord tissue, historically used in 'cellular' creams. Modern EU regulation strongly discourages it on TSE/BSE-prion grounds, and ethical concerns add to the case against use.
