NICOTIANA BENTHAMIANA HEXAPEPTIDE-40 SH-POLYPEPTIDE-6

58

Safety score · 0–100

Moderate

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

A plant-made recombinant fusion peptide with real bioactivity but very limited public cosmetic safety history.

This is a transgenic Nicotiana benthamiana-produced fusion peptide that includes a human cytokine-like segment. Ingredients this bioactive are used at low levels, but they sit well outside the usual comfort zone of bland moisturizers and have limited long-term public cosmetic data, so a cautious middle score fits best.
