HUMAN NEONATAL FIBROBLAST/KERATINOCYTE CONDITIONED MEDIA

Description

Human Neonatal Fibroblast/Keratinocyte Conditioned Media is an advanced bioengineered ingredient derived from cultured human neonatal skin cells. This complex mixture contains a variety of growth factors, cytokines, and proteins naturally produced by fibroblasts and keratinocytes during cell culture. These components play crucial roles in skin regeneration, collagen synthesis, and cellular communication.

The media is rich in epidermal growth factor (EGF), keratinocyte growth factor (KGF), and transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β), which stimulate cell proliferation and differentiation. It also contains matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and their inhibitors, important for extracellular matrix remodeling. Hyaluronic acid and other glycosaminoglycans present in the media contribute to skin hydration and elasticity.

This ingredient is particularly effective in anti-aging formulations, promoting skin repair, and improving overall skin texture. It can enhance wound healing, reduce the appearance of fine lines, and increase skin firmness. The conditioned media is typically incorporated into high-end serums and creams at concentrations ranging from 1% to 10%, depending on the specific formulation and desired effects.
