About
A synthetic pentapeptide amide modeled after Azemiopsin from Fea's viper snake, offering skin conditioning with moderate allergenicity risk.
A synthetic peptide obtained by acetylating a single-chain Fea's viper peptide identical to a portion of Azemiopsin, produced synthetically. Contains 5 amino acids (lysine, proline, tryptophan) with C-terminal amide. Animal-derived cosmetic ingredients face increased regulatory scrutiny under EU EC 1223/2009; snake venom peptides may pose allergenicity risks comparable to other animal-derived proteins.
