SH-POLYPEPTIDE-2 SR-EGYPTIAN SCORPION OLIGOPEPTIDE-1

Description

SH-POLYPEPTIDE-2 SR-EGYPTIAN SCORPION OLIGOPEPTIDE-1 is a synthetic peptide inspired by the venom of the Egyptian scorpion (Scorpio maurus palmatus). This innovative ingredient has gained attention in the skincare and haircare industries for its potential benefits in promoting cellular regeneration and improving overall skin and hair health.

The peptide is designed to mimic the bioactive properties of scorpion venom, particularly its ability to interact with cellular pathways involved in growth and repair. It is believed to stimulate the production of key proteins and growth factors that support skin elasticity, hydration, and collagen synthesis. In haircare applications, it may help strengthen hair follicles and promote healthier hair growth.

SH-POLYPEPTIDE-2 SR-EGYPTIAN SCORPION OLIGOPEPTIDE-1 is typically used in low concentrations due to its potency. It is compatible with various formulations, including serums, creams, and hair treatments. While research is ongoing, preliminary studies suggest potential anti-aging, wound-healing, and hair-strengthening properties. As with any active ingredient, patch testing is recommended before widespread use to ensure compatibility with individual skin types.
