Questions




Answers

What makes Bio-restorative Skin Cream unique?
Bio-restorative Skin Cream is the first cream containing PSP, which is a balanced mixture of cytokines and growth factors associated with optimal nutritive properties for skin.

Top

Why is PSP better than a single growth factor?
Years of research on scarless wound healing demonstrated that the interaction of many cytokines, growth factors and their regulators are required for optimal nutrition and bio-restoration of skin.

Top

How is PSP obtained?
PSP is obtained from cultured skin cells after cell disruption by several freeze-thawing cycles. The cells are derived from skin cells stored in a cell bank. The PSP production process is based on standard cell culture technique.

Top

Is PSP safe for topical use?
PSP is well tolerated for topical use. It is neither a contact irritant nor a contact allergen. The cells used to initiate PSP production were free of viruses or viral adventitious agents, mycoplasma, bacteria or fungi. PSP is produced under stringent manufacturing procedures similarly than required for a biological drug product by regulatory authorities around the world.

Top

What is the exact composition of PSP?
PSP is composed of skin proteins and other processed skin cell constituents obtained after cell disruption. It does not contain cells. Genomic [37] or proteomic [25] studies on the cells used for PSP production indicate numerous growth factors including basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF), epidermal growth factor (EGF), keratinocyte growth factor (KGF), all human isoforms of transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-ß), granulatory colony stimulating factor (GCSF), insulin-like growth factor (IGF) as well as vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF).

Is Bio-restorative Skin Cream well tolerated on sensitive or stressed skin?
The cream was designed for ensuring excellent skin acceptability: free of fragrances, color additives and sunscreens. The good skin tolerability of the cream was confirmed during dermatotoxicology studies. The cream is neither an skin irritant nor a contact allergen.

Top

Can Bio-restorative Skin Cream be used for treating wounds?
Bio-restorative Skin Cream is for external use only and not for application over open or punctured wounds, infections or lacerations.

Top

Is Bio-restorative Skin Cream a drug product and was it approved by FDA?
Bio-restorative Skin Cream is a cosmetic product. It restores the normal appearance of sensitive, stressed and irritated skin by nourishing, refreshing and revitalizing the skin’s outer layer.
