Derived from EU CosIng regulatory status, PubChem hazard data and published research. How we score.
A synthetic fusion peptide combining an HIV-derived sequence with a human growth factor peptide — designed for skin conditioning and protection.
This 76-amino-acid synthetic peptide fuses s-HIV-1 Oligopeptide-7 (derived from HIV-1 protein sequences) with sh-Oligopeptide-1 SP (human EGF-like peptide). The HIV-derived sequence is a small, non-infectious fragment repurposed for its cell-penetrating properties. While the peptide itself carries no viral risk, the HIV-derived nomenclature raises consumer perception concerns. Limited independent safety data available.
