About S-DNA APTAMER-5
A synthetic 30-nucleotide single-stranded DNA aptamer with high specificity for glutathione, used in advanced anti-aging skincare formulations.
Detailed Analysis
DNA aptamers are synthetic single-stranded oligonucleotides that fold into defined 3D structures capable of binding target molecules with antibody-like affinity and specificity. S-DNA Aptamer-5 specifically binds glutathione, which is involved in skin antioxidant defense and oxidative stress pathways. As a synthetic, well-defined nucleic acid sequence, it is considered to have a favourable safety profile. The ingredient is not restricted in EU cosmetics legislation; aptamers in cosmetics represent an emerging category without specific regulatory guidance beyond standard microbial and purity requirements.
