About
A fusion peptide containing Clostridium botulinum sequences, raising significant safety concerns despite recombinant production due to the extreme toxicity of the source organism.
A fusion peptide combining Clostridium botulinum polypeptide sequences with sh-Oligopeptide-1, produced in E. coli. The botulinum source organism is associated with one of the most potent biological toxins known; recombinant production theoretically removes toxicity but the sequence origin warrants extreme caution. Subject to EU Cosmetics Regulation scrutiny under CMR substance guidelines. Very low product count suggests limited safety data.
