DEER BLOOD.

Insufficient Data / HUMECTANT, SKIN CONDITIONING

Derived from deer, Deer Blood Peptides (DBP) exhibit significant antioxidant capabilities and have shown potential in mitigating skin photoaging. Research indicates its ability to combat reactive oxygen species and reduce inflammatory markers, contributing to skin health and resilience against environmental damage.

Antioxidant Anti-aging Anti-inflammatory Photo-protective

Science

Deer Blood Peptides (DBP) primarily function through potent antioxidant action and by fostering cellular proliferation within the skin. They enhance the activity of crucial antioxidant enzymes such as glutathione and superoxide dismutase, while effectively diminishing reactive oxygen species (ROS) and inflammatory markers like malondialdehyde, interleukin-1, interleukin-6, and tumour necrosis factor-α. This comprehensive action provides protection against UVB-induced photoaging.

Key findings

  1. 01 In vitro studies at 0.1-1.0 mg/mL concentrations demonstrated Deer Blood Peptides (DBP) significantly reduced intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS), increased antioxidant enzyme activity, and attenuated UVB-induced inflammation (IL-1, IL-6, TNF-α). An in vivo mouse model further supported its efficacy, showing a DBP-loaded liposome-hydrogel formulation led to smoother skin, reduced epidermal thickening, and alleviated UVB-induced skin photoaging.

Transparency

Not commonly dusted

While components derived from deer blood, specifically peptides, are being investigated for advanced skincare, the raw ingredient 'deer blood' itself is not a common or established cosmetic component. Current research focuses on purified fractions and specific delivery systems, indicating it is not typically used for 'dusting' claims.

Stability

Deer blood hydrolysates exhibit superior solubility, exceeding 65%, under neutral and alkaline conditions. A stable liposome-hydrogel formulation incorporating deer blood peptides was successfully developed and maintained at a pH of 6.5, suggesting optimal stability within this range for formulated products.


Safety

Our Assessment

Insufficient Data

While promising research on deer blood peptides suggests significant antioxidant and anti-photoaging benefits, the lack of human clinical trials and comprehensive cosmetic safety assessments deems its current use as 'insufficient-data'.
