About

A synthetic human-identical peptide designed to condition skin, modeled after a portion of a natural sulfotransferase enzyme.

sh-Hexapeptide-3 is a six-amino-acid synthetic peptide (containing glycine, lysine, serine, threonine, and tryptophan) identical to a segment of human Sulfotransferase Family Cytosolic 2B Member 1. As a biomimetic peptide, it functions as a skin conditioning agent. Its human-identical sequence and small size suggest excellent biocompatibility. No GHS hazards or regulatory restrictions apply.
