About
A novelty biotech peptide inspired by animal proteins, with more uncertainty than a conventional cosmetic peptide.
SR-(TIGER POLYPEPTIDE-1 HEXAPEPTIDE-40) is a recombinant fusion peptide produced by fermentation using animal-sequence-inspired protein domains. Large proteins generally have low penetration through intact skin, but the ingredient is still highly novel and not backed by the depth of public safety data available for mainstream actives. That uncertainty keeps the score moderate.
