Frequently Asked Questions

What is sheep placenta extract and what does it do for skin?

Sheep placenta extract is derived from the placenta of New Zealand sheep and is rich in amino acids, peptides, enzymes, growth factors, and other bioactive compounds that support skin cell metabolism and renewal. In skincare, placenta extract is traditionally used to improve skin vitality, hydration, firmness, and to support the regeneration of damaged or ageing skin. New Zealand sheep placenta is considered particularly potent due to the high quality of NZ pastoral farming.

How does lanolin benefit the skin in this cream?

Lanolin from New Zealand sheep is one of the world's finest moisturisers — its molecular structure closely resembles human skin lipids, allowing it to penetrate and condition while forming a protective barrier that prevents moisture loss. Combined with placenta extract, the lanolin base amplifies the nourishing benefits of the placenta compounds while providing the moisture retention that dry and mature skin particularly needs.

Is Lumea Placenta Cream suitable for very dry or eczema-prone skin?

Yes — the rich lanolin base makes it particularly suitable for very dry, chapped, and dehydrated skin. People with known lanolin sensitivity should perform a patch test first. For diagnosed eczema, this cream provides intensive moisture support and may be used alongside prescribed treatments.

Is sheep placenta extract ethically sourced?

New Zealand sheep placenta for skincare is harvested at lambing time — the placenta is a natural byproduct of the birthing process and is collected without harm to the ewe or lamb. It is an ethical use of a material that would otherwise be discarded.

How does Lumea Sheep Placenta Cream compare to standard moisturisers?

Standard moisturisers provide hydration through humectants (glycerin, hyaluronic acid) and occlusive ingredients. Lumea's formula adds the bioactive complexity of placenta extract — amino acids and growth-factor-like compounds that actively support skin cell function — alongside lanolin's exceptional occlusive and emollient properties. The result is a richer, more nourishing cream suited to skin that needs intensive treatment rather than just light daily hydration.
