Hi @SebuttYopick, the topic - the use of a serum based on baby progenitor cells for skin care products - is very interesting.
But please note that headlines must be adequately describe the content of the article linked (Rule 3, see sidebar).
Your title gives the impression that beautician Georgia Louise and actresses Cate Blanchett and Sandra Bullock harvested the progenitor cells from babies' bodies (=foreskins that were removed during circumcision) themselves. This is not correct.
Georgia Louise uses products that base on this technology, and Cate Blanchett and Sandra Bullock have been among the celebs who were treated in her studio with these products.
The facial includes a cleanse, followed by an intensive TCA peel, micro-needling machine and an electrifying mask to calm the skin, followed by her ‘secret box’ of EGF serum (Epidermal Growth Factor).
EGF is derived from the progenitor cells of the human fibroblast taken from Korean newborn baby foreskin – which helps to generate collagen and elastin. FDA approved stem cells and peptides are penetrated deep into the skin using a special electric micro- needling wand.
In fact, progenitor cells derived from foreskins seem have been used as the base for developing skin care products for some time now:
Though the whole thing sounds weird, the treatment has actually been around for a while—just probably called by a different name by most aestheticians—and foreskin-derived stems cells have been found in skincare products for years.
I wasn't able however to find the original quote (Cate Blanchett referring to this Beauty Treatment) in the interview with Vogue Australia that Marie Claire claimed was the original source of Blanchett's statement. It could have been removed, may have been part of a longer version that was distributed beforehand to other news outlets or maybe never wasn't something Cate Blanchett actually said.
Since The Sun, and also The Daily Mail are not always the most reliable news outlets, it is unclear whether they acutally checked whether the quote was legit. I will therefore flair the post 'Unverified' per Rule 2.
Also, I will give you an 24 Edit Warning and would like to ask you:
to self-delete the post within 24 hours (otherwise we will do it) and repost with an adequate headline
to present proof that Blanchett actually said she had this sort of facial
