Fish Parts Found To Prevent Wrinkles

The National Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research (NIWA) has been studying the effects of fish waste on skin cells. The results may prove that the answer to preventing wrinkles lies in the most revolting parts of the fish.

The parts most often used are the skin and liver, and occasionally the eyes or gills.

Reserachers at the NIWA have spent the last five years testing these bits of fish waste on human skin cells grown in test tubes. Over 150 various species of fish were testing. The results proved most interesting, They don't' act like ordinary UV protectants for example, which primarily put a layer over the top of your skin, but seem to actually get into the cells and actually so a protection from within the cell, says Dr. Vicki Webb of the NIWA.

While fish waste won't stop people from aging, it does seem to give skin cells a longer life expectancy. Omega 3 oil, the oil found in fish. Has been included in many skin products before but this will be the first time actual fish parts will be used. Expect products to begin appearing on shelves, in France, later this year.

Some wonder if consumers will really be wiling to purchase beauty products made of fish parts. Gary Nicholson, of the Kirkcaldie Stains store, believes they will. It's probably one of those products that people will come and try and if they find it works for them they will continue to purchase it.

However NIWA cautions people that not all of the fish waste products are effective for wrinkle prevention. No don't' try this at home, wait until the product comes out.
