About

A synthetic peptide inspired by tardigrade survival proteins — designed to help skin withstand environmental stress.

Derived from the Damage Suppressor Protein of Ramazzottius varieornatus (water bear/tardigrade), this 8-amino-acid synthetic peptide is engineered to confer stress-resistance properties to skin cells. Tardigrade-inspired ingredients leverage the organism's extreme survival mechanisms to offer antioxidant and occlusive skin protection. No GHS hazards or restrictions.
