R-Salmon Oligopeptide-1 Sh-Oligopeptide-1

R-Salmon Oligopeptide-1 Sh-Oligopeptide-1 is a peptide derived from salmon sources, composed of short chains of amino acids. Peptides are fragments of proteins that can be incorporated into skincare formulations to support skin function and resilience.This ingredient functions primarily as an antioxidant and skin protectant, working to shield the skin from environmental stressors and oxidative damage that can accumulate over time.

The peptide works by delivering amino acids and bioactive compounds that support the skin's natural antioxidant defences. Antioxidants function by neutralising free radicals—unstable molecules generated by UV exposure, pollution and normal metabolic processes—which can damage skin cells and contribute to visible ageing.Additionally, this ingredient may help reinforce the skin's barrier function, the protective layer that prevents water loss and keeps irritants out. A resilient barrier is fundamental to healthy skin appearance and comfort.

This ingredient is typically found in serums, moisturisers and targeted treatments. Use it as directed on product packaging; most formulations containing peptides work well when applied to clean skin before heavier creams. It pairs well with other antioxidants and can be used daily as part of a consistent routine.

Generally well-tolerated across skin types. Those with seafood sensitivities should check formulation details, although topical application carries minimal risk.
