FunctionPeptide

What it is — sh-Oligopeptide-1 is a biotechnology-derived peptide modeled on the activity of human epidermal growth factor (EGF).

What it does — It is used as a conditioning and skin-support ingredient in formulas positioned around smoothness and a revitalized look; it is a cosmetic ingredient, not a medicine.

Typical use — Appears in serums, ampoules and creams, typically at very low concentrations within peptide or "recovery" blends.

Who it suits / good to know — Generally suitable across skin types seeking peptide-based conditioning. As with all peptides, it is best assessed within the overall formula.

Safety — DHALIORA grades it low risk, considered non-sensitizing at the low levels typically used. General information, not medical advice; patch-test if reactive.

Why we grade it Low: Recombinant peptide considered non-sensitizing at the low concentrations typically used.
