About

A synthetic double-stranded RNA designed for topical gene-silencing (RNAi) — a genuinely novel cosmetic technology. The borderline between cosmetic and pharmacological action and lack of SCCS review warrant caution.

Skin benefits

  • Targeted gene-silencing claim (RNAi)
  • Novel mechanism for cosmetic actives
  • Recombinant — no animal derivation

Known concerns

  • RNA-interference is a pharmacological mechanism — cosmetic appropriateness questioned
  • Novel ingredient — minimal independent safety data
  • Stability and penetration not well characterised
  • Possible off-target gene-silencing effects
  • SCCS has not reviewed this ingredient class
