What is Human Placental Protein?
Human placental protein is a biological substance extracted from the placenta, an organ that develops in the uterus during pregnancy. It is used in various cosmetic and pharmaceutical products due to its rich blend of proteins, hormones, and other bioactive compounds. While it has been used in certain traditional medical practices, its use in commercial products is often met with ethical and dietary concerns.

Moreover, there are ethical concerns regarding the sourcing and use of human-derived products. Some cultures and religions might also have prohibitions against using human tissues in consumables or cosmetics.
