About
A biotech-derived peptide active used for conditioning or anti-aging claims, usually at tiny doses but with limited independent human data.
This is a recombinant polypeptide expressed in Chlorella vulgaris and designed to mimic human nerve growth factor beta activity. Potent signaling peptides can be used at very low levels, but independent human safety data and long-term cosmetic experience are limited, so the score stays cautious.
