R-PORCINE POLYPEPTIDE-1
Safety score · 0–100
Moderate
Derived from EU CosIng regulatory status, PubChem hazard data and published research. How we score.
A recombinant porcine growth-factor-style peptide with real signaling activity. That level of bioactivity deserves caution in a cosmetic ingredient.
This recombinant porcine polypeptide corresponds to an epidermal-growth-factor-style protein, so it is not a passive conditioner. Growth-factor-like signaling may be useful commercially, but it also makes chronic cosmetic exposure more uncertain than for standard moisturizers or film formers.
