About
A large plant-grown protein (in N. benthamiana) that forms a thin conditioning film on skin and hair. No EU restrictions, low expected irritation — but it's a big novel molecule, so cosmetic data is still limited.
Function
Skin benefits

- Multifunctional skin and hair conditioning
- Plant-host route avoids animal-source contaminants
Known concerns
- Very large recombinant construct — limited human data
- Trace host plant proteins possible if not well-purified
