TRANSGENIC RICE RH-OLIGOPEPTIDE-2

Description

Transgenic Rice rh-Oligopeptide-2 is an innovative bioengineered ingredient derived from genetically modified rice plants. This peptide is a synthetic analog of human epidermal growth factor (EGF), designed to mimic the skin-regenerating properties of naturally occurring EGF.

The peptide is produced by introducing human EGF genes into rice plants, resulting in a sustainable and cost-effective source of this potent skincare active. Transgenic Rice rh-Oligopeptide-2 functions by binding to EGF receptors on skin cells, stimulating cellular proliferation, migration, and differentiation.

Key benefits of this ingredient include accelerated wound healing, improved skin elasticity, and enhanced collagen production. It has shown particular efficacy in addressing signs of aging, such as fine lines and wrinkles. The peptide also demonstrates potential in treating hyperpigmentation and improving overall skin texture.

Clinical studies have indicated that Transgenic Rice rh-Oligopeptide-2 is well-tolerated by most skin types and exhibits a favorable safety profile. Its molecular structure allows for effective penetration into the skin, ensuring optimal delivery of its regenerative properties. This ingredient represents a significant advancement in peptide technology for skincare applications, offering a plant-derived alternative to traditional EGF sources.
