Many of us are familiar with the placenta — it is, after all, an essential part of the reproductive process. But what exactly is the placenta?

Technically, it would be classified as an ephemeral organ, as it is only meant to be around for as long as a baby is housed in the womb.

It serves as a way for the growing fetus to receive nutrients from its mother, as well as a pathway for wastes to be disposed of through the mother’s kidneys. In many ways, it could be considered the lifeline of the developing child.

After the birth of the child, the way that the placenta is handled depends on the part of the world where the child is born. Some cultures simply burn it while others see it as a valuable source for health.

EMK Beverly Hills is a company that has taken what is perhaps one of the most unique approaches — it has utilized the placenta as an ingredient in its skin care line. All EMK anti wrinkle products contain actual human placenta, giving users benefits that they might not have imagined.
