About S-BLACK WIDOW SPIDER HEXAPEPTIDE-1 SP

A synthetically produced 6-amino-acid peptide inspired by a black widow spider venom sequence, used in antioxidant and skin-protecting formulations.

Detailed Analysis

S-Black Widow Spider Hexapeptide-1 SP is a synthetic hexapeptide modeled on the Alpha-Latrotoxin-Lt1a sequence from black widow spider venom. The synthetic fragment is permitted in EU cosmetic products with no listed restrictions. Cosmetic-grade specification requires the absence of any biologically active venom components. The ingredient carries risk language due to its parental toxin origin, but the peptide itself is non-toxic at the sizes used.
