FunctionPeptide

What it is — sh-Polypeptide-1 is a biotechnology-derived polypeptide (a chain of amino acids) produced by recombinant methods.

What it does — It is used to support skin-repair-type signaling in cosmetic formulas, contributing to a smoother, conditioned surface feel; it is not a therapeutic agent.

Typical use — Found in serums, ampoules and creams, usually at low levels within peptide complexes.

Who it suits / good to know — Generally suitable for most skin types interested in peptide care. It is a supporting active whose benefit depends on the whole formula.

Safety — DHALIORA grades it low risk, with no known irritation concerns at cosmetic use levels. General information, not medical advice; patch-test if sensitive.

Why we grade it Low: Recombinant protein fragment with no known irritation concerns at cosmetic use levels.
