About

A lab-made peptide inspired by scorpion venom chemistry and used mainly in oil-control claims.

This is a short synthetic peptide modeled on a venom toxin sequence but heavily adapted for cosmetic use. The main issue is not proven severe toxicity at cosmetic levels, but limited independent safety and efficacy data compared with ordinary moisturizers or humectants. Because it is deliberately bioactive, it deserves more caution than a bland conditioning polymer.
