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
