Nicotiana Benthamiana Sh-Polypedtide-7

Nicotiana Benthamiana Sh-Polypeptide-7 is a bioengineered peptide derived from Nicotiana benthamiana, a plant species used in biotechnology to produce recombinant proteins. This ingredient functions as a skin conditioning agent, working to maintain and improve the skin's texture and appearance.The peptide is produced using plant-based expression systems, which allow for the generation of complex protein structures in a controlled manner. When incorporated into skincare formulations, it is designed to support the skin's natural conditioning processes.

This peptide functions by engaging with skin conditioning pathways. Its mechanism centres on supporting the skin's natural ability to retain moisture and maintain structural integrity, which are fundamental to healthy skin appearance and function.The bioengineered nature of this peptide allows it to deliver consistent, high-purity results in formulations, distinguishing it from botanical extracts that may vary in composition.

This ingredient is typically found in serums, moisturisers and treatment products. Use as directed by the specific product formulation. It generally integrates well into multi-ingredient skincare routines and can be used alongside other actives, though it is advisable to introduce new products gradually to monitor skin response.

Generally considered safe for topical use. As with all new skincare ingredients, conduct a patch test if you have sensitive skin or a history of reactions to peptides or plant-derived ingredients.
