About
A lab-made peptide used to support the skin barrier. It is usually acceptable in well-formulated products, though sensitive skin can still react.
This is a synthetic or recombinant peptide designed for conditioning or signaling effects, and peptides usually have lower skin penetration than small molecules. At typical cosmetic use levels, the main downside is local irritation, allergy, or formula-dependent sensitivity rather than strong systemic risk.
