Science
Mechanism of Action
It modulates sebum production by potentially inhibiting sebocyte differentiation or lipid synthesis pathways. Additionally, it functions as an emollient and skin protectant by mimicking the film-forming and moisture-retention properties of natural silk proteins.

The Formula
Formulation
Stability
Stable in aqueous solutions within a neutral to slightly acidic pH range. As a peptide, it is sensitive to extreme heat, strong oxidizing agents, and pH outside its optimal range, which may cause denaturation.
Conflicts
- strong acids (pH < 4.0)
- strong bases (pH > 8.0)
- proteolytic enzymes
- heavy metal ions
Safety
Safety Profile
Listed in the EU CosIng database and the International Cosmetic Ingredient Dictionary for anti-sebum, skin conditioning, and skin protecting uses. No safety concerns have been reported at typical usage levels (typically <5%).
