A recombinant human protein produced in E. coli — designed for advanced skin conditioning applications.
Methionyl sh-Polypeptide-1 is a single-chain synthetic peptide produced by bacterial fermentation in E. coli, with a methionyl initiation codon added to the human gene sequence. It functions as a skin conditioning agent. No GHS hazards, no EU restrictions. Recombinant proteins used in cosmetics are highly purified and used at trace levels, minimizing immunogenicity concerns.
