About
A recombinant porcine growth-factor-style peptide with real signaling activity. That level of bioactivity deserves caution in a cosmetic ingredient.
This recombinant porcine polypeptide corresponds to an epidermal-growth-factor-style protein, so it is not a passive conditioner. Growth-factor-like signaling may be useful commercially, but it also makes chronic cosmetic exposure more uncertain than for standard moisturizers or film formers.
