S-CLOSTRIDIUM BOTULINUM DECAPEPTIDE-2
Safety score · 0–100
Moderate
Derived from EU CosIng regulatory status, PubChem hazard data and published research. How we score.
A synthetic peptide fragment inspired by botulinum toxin biology, with no obvious high-dose cosmetic use but still more uncertainty than standard skincare ingredients.
This material is a synthetic fragment related to botulinum neurotoxin sequence used for skin-conditioning or signaling claims in topical products. It is only a short synthetic fragment rather than botulinum toxin itself, but the toxin association and sparse public safety data justify a conservative score.
