Foreskin Face Cream

image Is there really a face cream that's made from the discarded foreskins of circumcised infants? It sounds like some kind of freakish urban legend, but the correct answer would be yes, there is such a product. It's called TNS (tissue nutrient system) Recovery Complex. However, I don't think they grind up the foreskins and mix them right into the face cream. Instead, I think the ingredients in the cream have somehow been bio-engineered from foreskins. Still, it might be a little bit offputting to the squeamish. Oh, and according to this article, the stuff smells awful.

Birth/Babies Body Manipulation

I had a dorm-mate in college who used a shampoo that, if the label was to be believed, was made with "human placenta extract." I don't know what benefit this was supposed to give to the user, but it thoroughly grossed out the rest of us.

This was the same guy who was always going on bizarre health diets, like eating nothing but a special clay or nothing but yeast, or nothing at all (some of you may remember my earlier comment on "breathairianism"). His family owned a grocery store, and I always wondered what sort of psychology was operating there.

My siblings were all born at home, and after my mom was able to get up and move around, (sometimes that same DAY) she would plant a tree & put the placenta in the bottom of the hole. The midwife said it could be used for shampoo, but we never did that. I've seen the placenta shampoo in the healthfood store. I wonder if you could use grown-up foreskins. Like if some guy decided he wanted to be circumcised, but wasn't at birth...could he donate? Could this TNS create a rush on circumcision in older males? Next thing you know college students will be lining up to donate their foreskins.

I saw a show where a woman ate her placenta after she gave birth because it's supposed to restore lost hormones that cause Post Birth depression.

I had (actually, still have) a great aunt who drank her own urine. It was part of all the new-agey stuff she was into. It was the big joke whenever we went to her house not to drink the apple juice in her refrigerator. I'm actually not sure if she really drank her own urine, or if that was just my grandmother making up crazy stories to tell us about her sister. But I always assumed it was true.

Drinking urine has a long tradition as a supposed health tonic. Supposedly there are many people in certain countries, such as India, who practice this. J. Nehru, the first Prime Minister of India, is said to have drunk urine every morning.

A variation on drinking your own urine is a theory that drinking the urine of young children will somehow rejuvenate older people.

Urine contains melatonin and other hormones, so who knows, maybe it actually does something for you.

Discarded foreskins are used for other interesting things. There is a company here that uses them as a medium to grow interferon (most interferon is obtained by genetic engineering, but some of it must be grown in fresh healthy human tissues) for medical use.

Nu Skin was/is a sell from your home product that was also supposed to have placenta in it.

Ugh, I could not imagine...Besides, the whole reason these things leave your body is because it's WASTE. Your body can no longer use it for anything...so it discards it. Once a kid in school had to be taken to the hospital because he made a bet with someone that he couldn't 'hold it' for 5 days. Well, on the 5th day the kid passed out in the cafeteria. He didn't even win his bet, b/c the other kid argued that the hospital emptied his bladder for him before the bet was fully over. Apparently it absorbs back into your body & that's what made him pass out.

I did a bit of looking around and while info from reputable sources is a tad sketchy, particularly since the company who developed the process has gone under and the mob they sold it to (SkinMedica) has a broken link to the product info, it would seem that the cream simply contains growth factors and secretion products from a neonate foreskin cell line.
As a scientist in the biotech industry I can tell you that foreskins aren't just chucked in this stuff. Rather what's happened is that a small number of foreskins donated by consent of the parents have been used to establish a cell line in culture - these cultured cells can then be grown in large quantities. The cells secrete stuff into liquid growth media which can then be removed. In any case it's not like huge vats of foreskins are being boiled up for their growth factors 😊
I doubt adult foreskins would be of much use for this application - adults don't do a whole lot of growing so the secretion products from an adult cell line would likely be quite different. So desperate college guys, I'm afraid it's still the sperm bank for you 😉
As for placenta shampoo, that's just gross.

Quote from two posts below:

"Once a kid in school had to be taken to the hospital because he made a bet with someone that he couldn't 'hold it' for 5 days. Well, on the 5th day the kid passed out in the cafeteria."

Didn't happen. A kid who tried to hold his bladder for five days would've involuntarily released it the first night he went to sleep.
Of course, if he was smart, he would've gone at any point in the day that this "someone" wasn't looking.

Urine is great. For drinking, for cooking, for sexual exploits, you name it. I have found countless ways to recycle pee-pee into fun-fun. I don't know if it's healthy, but at this point after the hours of enjoyment i have been given. i don't care.

i was just watching this show and it stated that if you put sperm on your face it could be used as a anit aging cream. if anyone knows if this is true or not let me know.

actually, it can be argued that placentas are
made for consumption. humans are one of the few
if not the only mammals that do not regularly eat
the placenta. i've seen a few births of pets
and horses and they always eat it, but i think
it's mainly just to clean up. although i sure
as hell wouldn't eat it. that's almost like
cannibalism or something.

SPEARM as a body cream YES, my wife has been rubbing it into or onto her breasts for years, only to notice how firm and soft they were, she started using it on her neck and the wrinkles totaly went away. She wishes she get get more than she does for her whole body+

Placenta shampoo is real - it's used by women for healthier hair. Some brands include B&B SuperGro, and Helena. Placenta contains estrogen, and estrogen is easily absorbed through the skin and scalp. Estrogen promotes fast & strong hair growth and also breast development. The FDA is beginning to regulate these "rich in hormones" shampoos because it's illegal to sell estrogen without a prescription. Some websites include:

yuck rubbing sperm in to your face, it smells
Posted by someone  on  Thu Jan 05, 2006  at  03:46 PM
Looks great, but I have a question... How often you need to use it and if it is daily, Can you explain how do you get enough clean sperm everyday for breast and face (which must be a lot) and have your boyfriend ejaculate in you when you make love????
In other words, do you masturbate him or suck him every single day to get his sperm?? humm... or maybe you ask him to ejaculate outside your pussy if he don't mind??? seems not that easy. I would like to know because I can't imagine making love like that the next 20 years and neither my husband.. Maybe someone has a solution.... Thank you

Well that is easy, my husband has alot of spearm and yes he ejackuates inside me but also loves to get rubbed and sucked, so we do it all we always make love in the AM, that is usualy inside me and in the evening and at night he shoots a load on my breasts. does that answer it for you.

Hello girls,
i just wanted to know if you just rub it( the sperm) on you without rinsing or do you have to rinse it ?
Posted by Laura  on  Fri Jun 09, 2006  at  06:16 AM
Thank you all above to confirm my intuitions about sperm cream. I am a single man of 43. Used to be prudish about do it yourself blow job but suffered sudden change of heart about this business. Now I do it and enjoy it. On the outside nothing changed because in the past I did it too but then I hated myself for "losing control." Now I do it and relish the pleasure it brings to my life and feel it rejuvenates my system the more I do it. By my experience you do NOT "lose spiritual energy" when you give out sperm because you WANT IT. If it is not out of desperation (like kind of drug adiction or work or what have you) but is bodyly expression of the state of happiness in the face of the world then you give out love which you cannost lose as "drain on your energy". Sperm that rests on my hands after successful struggle to be able to finish what nice pictures of girls always do to me I find lazy to go and wash away to "cover the crime" any longer. I rub them in my hands instead and when they are in overabundnce I have just started to use them as a natural body cosmetics. One day I hope to find a girl who will enjoy this servis of mine for her.

...Yes, you need to push yourself hard to do it day by day because your production and growing capacity is limited. But you can step up your capacity. The feeling of pleasure after you push yourself hard to get out the most precious of you is much higher because you are reaching your limits. You grow with your limits. Yes, I do feel the "natural place" of my penis is inside woman's embrace. But I think if you are out of sperm first by ejaculating wherever it is needed for the skin care and only then you insert into a tight vessel you get sort of natural pregnancy control without having to watch cycles of the woman too closely or even put chemistry into either body system to block her or his true nature of sharing bodies in love.

As far as possible explanation goes: the body is an ultimate system of perfection. It retains its ability to rejuvenate and produce new life (a baby) even for men who are in their 80ties. For that reason it is not unnatural to suspect there might be something real about the intuition here even thought I felt real strange after I today put my own sperm on my face and knew the smell of it.

Enjoy
Merry Christmas

No hoax on my part. I am a real person and share real life experience but also my dreams and fantasies.

you know instead of using sperm you could just stay out of the sun and eat right, my mum who is 50 does not have a wrinkle because she always used sunscreen and kept out of the sun. Drinking urine. I gotta say that its stuff your body doesn't want in it why put it back. Its excess salts and stuff like that. Not nice stuff.

It's tricky when you are choosing a cream for your face. You want something that is gentle - the last thing you would want is a red, blotchy face. You want something that minimizes wrinkles. You want something that does NOT clog your pores - it doesn't do much good if your face lotion turns you into a hive of pimples. You want your skin to look young looking, fresh looking, without being oily.

First off, I REALLY like the fact that this is in a pump design. So many face creams are in "pot" designs that were used by the ancient Egyptians. Those designs were fine for Egyptians, but in modern times they just don't work well. Even if your hands are perfectly clean, once you put your fingers into the pot and then onto your face, now you have face oils and skin bits and such on your fingers. So when you put your fingers back into the pot for the second and third portion of lotion for other aspects of your face, you are now contaminating the lotion. Yes, I suppose you could take an entire face worth of lotion onto your fingers in the first place and spread it around. However, that's really not good for your face 😊 You want to take the lotion out small piece by small piece, and work on one section of your face at a time. This container lets you properly do that.

The lotion has a nice, light texture and absorbs in quickly. I use this primarily on my neck area, as I want the "face lift" aspect there. Other areas of my face (my forehead etc) are more in need of a very gentle lotion that moisturizes. I am really not sure that a face lift lotion is a great idea near the eyes, for example. Something that is strong enough to do tightening / face lift activity is probably best reserved for areas that have that sort of issue. The neck and chin come to mind.
