SR-STAPHYLOCOCCUS SIMULANS POLYPEPTIDE-1

Description

SR-Staphylococcus Simulans Polypeptide-1 is an innovative bioactive peptide derived from the fermentation of Staphylococcus simulans, a non-pathogenic bacterium. This cutting-edge ingredient has garnered attention in the skincare industry for its potential to enhance the skin's natural defense mechanisms and promote a healthier microbiome.

The polypeptide works by modulating the skin's innate immune response, helping to balance the microbiome and strengthen the skin barrier. It has demonstrated efficacy in reducing inflammation and redness associated with various skin conditions, including acne and rosacea. Studies have shown that SR-Staphylococcus Simulans Polypeptide-1 can inhibit the growth of harmful bacteria while supporting beneficial microorganisms on the skin's surface.

In formulations, this ingredient is typically used at concentrations between 0.1% to 1%. It is compatible with a wide range of skincare products, including serums, creams, and masks. The polypeptide is water-soluble and stable in a pH range of 4.0 to 8.0, making it versatile for various formulations. Its ability to support skin health and resilience makes it a valuable addition to products targeting sensitive, acne-prone, or compromised skin.
