Common Name(s): Human oocyte lysate,human egg cell lysate,ooplasm extract
DESCRIPTION
What It Does: Delivers ultra-premium anti-aging benefits from cellular reprogramming factors found in human oocytes.
Why It's Used: Human oocytes contain extraordinary concentrations of stem cell reprogramming factors (equivalent to those used in ipsc creation); oocyte lysate provides a complex cocktail of transcription factors, growth factors, and regulatory proteins.
How It Works: Human oocytes are the most potent 'reprogramming' cells in biology; ooplasm contains oct4, sox2, klf4, c-myc (oskm factors) and other pluripotency-associated proteins; lysate provides these factors for potential skin cell rejuvenation; ethical sourcing and regulatory compliance are essential.
Typically Found In: Ultra-premium anti-aging serums,stem cell skin care,luxury formulas

Halal Status: No - human-derived; majority prohibition (juz' al-adami) - panel confirmation required
Source Notes: Human-derived cell lysate; requires strict ethical sourcing (informed consent, clinical waste); not from fertilized eggs. [audit 2026-07-29 rev2: name declares human tissue, fluid or cell culture. determination requires shariah-panel sign-off.]
SKIN COMPATIBILITY
Irritancy Rating: 1/5 – very low
Comedogenicity Rating: 0/5 – non-comedogenic
Sensitivity Concerns: Human-derived material: strict quality and safety testing required; ethical and regulatory compliance essential.
Safe for Sensitive Skin: Conditional – rigorous safety testing required
SAFETY & COMPATIBILITY
Safety Profile: Requires strict regulatory compliance and human-derived material testing. ewg score: varies by region.
Works Well With: Other growth factor extracts,peptides,stem cell conditioned media
Avoid Combining With: Must be used at ultra-low concentrations; extensive stability and safety testing required
SCIENTIFIC NOTE
Human oocyte lysate is among the most controversial and premium ingredients in cosmetics; oocytes contain high concentrations of pluripotency factors; strict ethical guidelines govern human-derived material; some markets restrict this ingredient category.
