48

Safety score · 0–100

Moderate

Derived from EU CosIng regulatory status, PubChem hazard data and published research. How we score.

A PEGylated derivative of melittin, the main active in bee venom. PEGylation cuts direct cytolytic activity, but bee-venom-class actives still carry meaningful allergy and sensitisation risk in topical use.

Function

ANTI-SEBUM

Skin benefits

  • Anti-sebum claims in supplier literature
  • Reduced membrane disruption vs raw melittin
  • Targeted at oily/acne-prone skin formulas

Known concerns

  • Severe allergy risk in bee-allergic users
  • Class-level sensitisation potential
  • Sparse independent dermal-safety data
