Anyone need an AMAZING moisturiser that was £750

Seriously good price, great reviews on the beauty blogs for it. I bought loads of products in the sale, got a years worth of stuff.

You don't get the fancy box (who cares about a box ?!?)

I used to be a midwife (quit about 5 years ago now) and there was a freezer for placentas but it was collected by the in-house team for incineration?

Can’t imagine they give out placentas without informing the women that they are collecting them from.

Yes, after Alderhay the regulations on use of human cells/samples is much stricter. Admittedly I'm not sure how placenta would be covered, there are two routes of disposal for either 'natural wastage' like toenails or menstrual blood or for 'samples' like e.g. bits of your liver taken in a biopsy or skin removed during a tummy tuck.

Of course those regulations cover the UK only so I'd guess the placenta comes from somewhere with less strict disposal regulations (your best hope is America but most likely a poorer country).

Actually didn't answer the question. The woman would have to sign a conscent form stating a) she was happy for her placenta to be used by a company who would make money from it and b) she relinquished all claims to the profit made from her body parts.

Laurie are you the candle guru from years back? Please say yes, then please please say you'll answer some of my questions!

I'm no guru but I did start that thread and I do make candles - not professionally yet and there's plenty on Mumsnet who do make for market

Feel free to pm me and I will help
If I can

There is no good outcome with this, supposing it was fantastic, knocked 20 years off you, gave you a movie star glow and tightened your jaw line, the you'd have to buy more and continue to buy it forever, at £750 a pot, eventually having to sell a kidney or you've wasted £75. I don't know which would be worse.

I will not be buying it at £750 a pot

But that is a fabulously dark Dorian-Greyesque idea

I suppose you could keep all of your organs and become someone who hangs around maternity wards, snatching placentas or set yourself up as a placenta pill maker and send back something like vit C caps because no one is ever going to look inside those capsules.

I don't know how to extract bee venom but I'm sure you could google it.

I was at secondary school in the early 1990s and we all believed that hospitals sent placentas to Oil of Ulay.
