Evaluating the effects of nacre on human skin and scar cells in culture
Abstract
Pearl nacre, a biomineralisation product of molluscs, has growing
applications in cosmetics, as well as dental and bone restoration,
yet a systematic evaluation of its biosafety is lacking. Here, we
assessed the biocompatibility of nacre with two human primary
dermal fibroblast cell cultures and an immortalised epidermal cell
line and found no adverse effects.
