Placenta benefits mainly lie in activating cell regeneration through EGF and FGF growth factors, inhibiting melanin for deep whitening, and strengthening the skin barrier. Japanese Porcine Placenta is highly favored for repairing "pseudo-aging" in mature skin and promoting collagen synthesis due to its amino acid structure being highly similar to humans, offering high absorption and safety.
[Complete Guide to Placenta Benefits] 5 Major Benefits for the Skin!
In modern anti-aging science, "Placenta" has always held an unshakable position. Whether in Japanese luxury skincare rituals or post-medical beauty repair suggestions, it is omnipresent. However, among the myriad of ingredients on the market, do you truly understand the benefits of placenta? Why does YII insist on using high-quality "Porcine Placenta" produced in Japan?
This article explores the reality and benefits of placenta from a biological perspective and deconstructs how it precisely "stops the illusion of aging".
What is Placenta?
Placenta (Placenta Extract) is not a single ingredient but a "natural repair library" composed of various bioactive molecules. According to clinical research, high-quality placenta contains the following core substances:
- Growth Factors: Includes EGF (Epidermal Growth Factor) and FGF (Fibroblast Growth Factor), which act as signaling molecules to promote skin repair and collagen production.
- Essential Amino Acids: Contains over 20 types of amino acids, the basic raw materials for synthesizing the skin's Natural Moisturizing Factor (NMF) and proteins.
- Nucleic Acids: Assists in DNA repair and combats cell damage caused by UV rays.
- Active Peptides and Enzymes: Possesses strong antioxidant capabilities to neutralize free radicals.
5 Core Benefits of Placenta for the Skin
Activating Cell Regeneration and Reshaping the Skin Barrier
As age and stress increase, the skin's metabolic cycle can extend from a healthy 28 days to 40 days or longer. Growth factors in placenta act as "cellular commands" to restart metabolic mechanisms, allowing old dead skin cells to shed and improving roughness and "pseudo-dullness" at the source.
Excellent Melanin Inhibition
Unlike irritating strong acids, placenta blocks melanin production at the source by inhibiting Tyrosinase activity. This is significantly effective for spots and dullness in mature skin, granting the skin a "translucent look" highly praised in Japanese skincare.
Antioxidant and Anti-glycation (Stopping the Illusion of Aging)
"Pseudo-aging" often stems from micro-inflammation and glycation. Placenta is rich in antioxidants that protect elastic fibers from becoming brittle due to glycation, thereby preventing fine lines and maintaining firm facial contours.
Long-lasting Deep Hydration and Repair
Placenta stimulates the skin to produce its own Ceramide and Hyaluronic Acid, which locks in moisture longer than simply applying external moisturizers. It provides immediate soothing and deep nourishment for dry lines and flaking caused by dehydration.
A "Fire Extinguisher" for Post-Medical Beauty and Sensitive Skin
Due to its cell repair power, placenta is often used for care after lasers or chemical peels. It quickly calms redness, accelerates wound healing, and strengthens the fragile stratum corneum, acting as a natural umbrella for sensitive skin.
Porcine Placenta vs. Ovine Placenta: Data and Reality Comparison
Japan leads the world in placenta research, and its Porcine Placenta production is strictly supervised by the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries, backed by authoritative data on safety and bioactivity.
| Comparison Feature | Porcine Placenta (Porcine) | Ovine Placenta (Ovine) |
| Molecular Structure Similarity |
90%+ similarity to humans; extremely easy to absorb |
Lower; absorption rate varies by person |
| Manufacturing Process |
Low-temperature enzyme decomposition (preserves activity)* |
Often uses high-temperature extraction |
| Safety Certification |
Japanese SPF Certification** (Specific Pathogen Free) |
Relies on specific country's livestock regulation |
| Main Benefits |
Cell repair, refined texture, long-lasting brightening |
Basic hydration, anti-wrinkle |
| Odor and Purity |
Highly pure, odorless |
Prone to gamey smell; requires heavy fragrance |
*Low-temperature enzyme decomposition avoids destroying fragile EGF growth factors, retaining over 90% of bioactivity.
** SPF (Specific Pathogen Free) certification refers to pigs free of specific pathogens.
Why does Yii choose high-quality Japanese placenta?
At Yii, we respect the skin’s natural rhythm. Our porcine placenta is chosen not only for its high permeability but also for its strict hormone-free standard.
Through modern bioengineering, we eliminate hormonal interference while preserving pure regenerative factors. This ensures that even with long-term use, the formula provides deep repair without placing a burden on the body’s endocrine system.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: Do placenta skincare products have side effects? Will they cause hormonal imbalance?
A: High-quality Porcine Placenta products produced under strict standards (like those from Japan used by Yii) are very safe. Yii meets Japanese government standards, and the placenta ingredients added are hormone-free. Furthermore, data from institutions like Oxford and Cambridge indicates that porcine placenta absorption does not cause cellular abnormalities, and its estrogen does not affect the body's estrogen levels.
Q2: Is placenta suitable for young skin?
A: It’s not just for mature skin. If you face "pseudo-early aging" from stress or late nights, adding placenta to your skincare products routine can effectively prevent the formation of true wrinkles.
Q3: Is porcine placenta really better than plant placenta?
A: While plant "placenta" has antioxidant benefits, it lacks the specific "Cell Growth Factors" found in animal placenta. For those seeking "age reversal" and "deep repair," the effects of Porcine Placenta are usually more direct.
