Foreskin fibroblast has been used earlier for growing skin for burn victims, in eyelid replacement procedures, for growing skin for those with diabetic ulcers and making creams and collagens in the cosmetics industry). It is often seen as a better alternative to testing cosmetic products on animals though it does raise ethical questions about the value of human skin. Foreskin fibroplast is now being used in SkinMedica, a new facial cream promoted by Oprah Winfrey.
