About
A botulinum-derived recombinant peptide marketed for strong bioactivity. That is a much riskier category than ordinary cosmetic peptides.
This recombinant peptide is derived from Clostridium botulinum polypeptide concepts and is meant to be strongly bioactive rather than simply moisturizing. For cosmetic scoring, that means higher uncertainty around local biologic effects and a much lower comfort level than with ordinary carrier or signal peptides.
Function
Known concerns
- Highly bioactive peptide
- Limited long-term cosmetic safety data
- Possible irritation in sensitive skin
