Human remains and most products derived from the human body are prohibited

What Etsy says

Human remains, products, or parts from the human body are prohibited on Etsy. Items made from human remains or products from the human body are not permitted, except for teeth, fingernails, and hair.

How to stay compliant

1. Delist any item claimed to contain human bone, tissue, organ material, blood, or bodily fluids.
2. Note that human hair, teeth, and fingernails are explicitly exempt from this prohibition and may remain listed.
3. If an item is an artistic representation or replica, clarify this clearly in the listing description to avoid triggering review.
