Answer 5

I don;t know if you'll find this helpfull, but there was a spa called 'La prairie' in Switzerland that mashed sheep placenta and chicken embroy's for facial treatments. Supposedly it was supposed to give people a good enough firming job to last the rest of their life. This has stopped though I would imagine as it is horrible, an no research or proof supports it.

Answer 6

I've used Hask hair conditioners before, which contain placenta. It definitely does NOT come from humans or pet animals. I believe they get the placenta from cows and/or sheep (but don't ask me how! Hask says it is cruelty-free and not tested on animals). As for the benefits, the claim is that it gives your hair shine and manageability, tames frizz, and is especially helpful for curls. I personally liked it very much (straight hair w/frizz) and since all of their products are under $10.00, if you don't have a moral/vegetable issue with placenta, trying a placenta-containing product is a cheap experiment.
