Nicotiana Benthamiana Hexapeptide-40 Sh-Polypeptide-76

Nicotiana Benthamiana Hexapeptide-40 Sh-Polypeptide-76 is a peptide derived from the Nicotiana benthamiana plant, a species commonly used in biotechnology research and ingredient development. This ingredient is produced through bioengineering techniques that allow plants to express specific protein sequences, which are then isolated and purified for use in skincare formulations.As a skin conditioning agent, this peptide works at a molecular level to support the skin's structural integrity and appearance. Peptides are short chains of amino acids that can penetrate the skin's outer layers and…

This peptide functions by signalling to skin cells through amino acid sequences. When applied topically, peptides can penetrate the stratum corneum and interact with fibroblasts and other skin cells, potentially stimulating them to maintain or improve their normal functions.The specific hexapeptide and polypeptide sequences in this ingredient are designed to encourage skin conditioning responses. Research suggests that plant-derived growth factors and peptides may help support the skin's natural repair and maintenance processes, though the precise mechanisms in cosmetic concentrations requi…

This ingredient is typically found in serums, moisturisers and treatment products. Apply to clean skin as part of your regular routine. Since it works as a conditioning agent rather than an active treatment, consistency over time is more important than frequency. Pair with complementary ingredients suited to your skin's needs, such as hydrators or antioxidants.

This ingredient is generally well-tolerated in skincare formulations. As with any new ingredient, perform a patch test if you have particularly sensitive skin or known sensitivities to peptides.
