Background about Placentor Vegetal. The first Placentor cream was created in 1959 and used in hospitals, in Lyon, France, to repair the skin of severe burns victims.
Before the Placentor cream was introduced, human placenta was the subject of several dermatological studies in France where it was used in hospitals to treat skin burns and wounds.
It was then that Dr. Bernard Guillot, a renowned pharmacist (like us) who's also a passionate botanist, decided to conduct extensive research to uncover Nature's equivalent of the human placenta. His work focussed on gemmotherapy, which is a form of herbal medicine using the buds of plants to treat various conditions. Why only the buds of plants?
It's because this therapeutic form assumes that the properties of buds are stronger than those of mature plants. Indeed, the bud contains inside it all the properties of the plant. When we use a plant extract, we actually only use parts of the plant’s properties, depending on which part of the plant is being extracted. Therefore, the efficacy of the bud is greater because it contains all the properties of the plant.
Through gemmotherapy, Dr Bernard discovered Plant Placenta, a plant substance which has exceptional benefits in repairing the skin. Tolerated by even the most sensitive skin, this amazing discovery - the Plant Placenta - was at the origin of the first applied phytodermatology brand. And this is how the brand, Placentor Vegetal, was born.
So, what is Plant Placenta? Let's take a look at the video.
In short, Plant Placenta is found under the pistil in plants. Pistil is the female reproductive part of a flower. The Plant Placenta contains essential nutrients, such as amino acids, peptides, mineral salts and so on. It also acts as a nourishing liquid during the formation of the fruit.
It's quite similar to human placenta. Human placenta forms in the uterus during pregnancy and performs many functions vital to the baby’s life. Ultimately, it connects the growing baby to its mother’s life supply, providing vitamins, proteins and enzymes to promote healthy growth, supplying oxygen and removing toxins from the baby’s body. Natural antibodies in the placenta form a protective barrier to keep nutrients in and bacteria out.
Human placenta is a natural, vital element that nourishes, protects and breathes life into every human cell, that's why protein-rich placenta extract has been found to be an exceptional skin treatment. In fact, the healing power of placenta to repair skin damage, loss of elasticity, uneven pigmentation and deep lines and wrinkles as well as severe redness and bruises are so well-known in the medical community. However, human or animal placenta may contain hormones that could disrupt our body's level of estrogen, potentially increasing the risk of early period, fibroids and even pre-menopausal cancer.
Through his thorough research, Dr, Bernard found that plant placenta essence is recognized, or accepted, by our own skin cells, so it has a unique ability to penetrate deeply into the skin’s hypodermis, where damage begins. The great healing power of plant placenta is quickly seen in wound repair, including skin abrasions, serious bruising, redness, irritation and burns.
The restorative and regeneration benefits of the Plant Placenta in Placentor Vegetal's Regenerating And Moisturizing Cream have been proven effective through clinical studies. In June 2012, a clinical study conducted by an independent laboratory showed that the skin is restored in just 2 days upon application of the cream.
