Science
Mechanism of Action
Competes for binding sites in the SNARE complex by mimicking SNAP-25, disrupting acetylcholine release at neuromuscular junctions and reducing facial muscle contractions that cause expression wrinkles

Transparency
Dusting Analysis
Effective concentrations require 3-10% for meaningful neuromuscular inhibition; concentrations below 1% unlikely to provide significant anti-wrinkle benefits
The Formula
Formulation
Stability
Highly stable in aqueous solutions when added during cooling phase below 40°C to prevent peptide degradation
Synergies
- other peptides in multi-peptide serums
Conflicts
- strong oxidizing agents
- proteolytic enzymes
- pH extremes below 3 or above 7
Safety
Safety Profile
Generally recognized as safe for topical cosmetic use as peptide derivative with no specific regulatory restrictions
