Shark Bile Is The Latest Hot Cosmetic For Skin
<snip>

A PRODUCT developed from shark bile by a Melbourne scientist has been picked up by one of the world's top cosmetic companies.

The product - called Ketsugo - helps control acne and restores the normal balance to oily skin.

Scientists at RMIT discovered the compound after hearing about Chinese women who smear shark bile on their faces to keep them wrinkle-free.

They analysed the compound and found that it switched off the excessive oil production activated by the body's hormones.
