Safety score · 0–100

Good

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

A synthetic peptide modelled on a crocodile defensin sequence — made in a lab without any animal material. Antimicrobial leaning. Held at 80 because non-human sequences slightly raise the immunogenicity flag.
