About
A peptide conjugated with a natural UV-absorbing mycosporine — designed to provide both antioxidant and sun-protective benefits.
This conjugate combines Oligopeptide-180 with Porphyra 334, a mycosporine-like amino acid (MAA) naturally found in red algae. MAAs are nature's UV filters, absorbing UVA and UVB radiation. The peptide-MAA fusion aims to deliver photoprotective, antioxidant, and skin conditioning benefits simultaneously. A novel approach to bio-inspired UV protection. No GHS hazards or restrictions.
