I follow a lot of skincare communities online and whenever I see a product with PDRN, I cringe. Who even thought of making skincare products with it? What company approved the idea? How on Earth did any marketing team convince anyone to buy it is beyond me.
I mean, bat shit is a common ingredient in make-up and whale barf is used in high end perfumes. The cosmetic industry uses a lot of gross products.
To be fair, they didn't know that ambergris was an excretion of the whale until long after they started using it for these purposes. It was just "that waxy thing we find floating in the ocean." Also, it's apparently not vomited, but defecated.
