Science
Mechanism of Action
This synthetic peptide, fortified with ferric (Fe3+) ions, operates by emulating the enzymatic activity of natural peroxidases within the skin, which helps to counteract deficiencies in these vital enzymes. Its primary mechanism involves powerful enzymatic detoxification, which neutralizes peroxyl radicals and other reactive oxygen species (ROS), thereby preventing oxidative stress, lipid peroxidation, and protein degradation. This action is crucial for maintaining physiological levels of cellular autophagy and proteasome activity, processes essential for cell regeneration and the prevention of premature aging. Furthermore, as a peptide, it actively contributes to stimulating collagen synthesis, which helps visibly reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines, and imparts hydrating benefits to the skin.

Stability
The hexapeptide's stability and effective delivery are significantly enhanced by its complexation with ferric ions (Fe3+).
Safety
Safety Profile
Comprehensive safety assessments from regulatory bodies such as CIR, SCCS, or FDA are not readily available; some data is currently labeled 'under research' and 'for reference only'. However, EWG indicates 'Data: None' for common concerns like cancer, allergies, immunotoxicity, and reproductive toxicity, assigning a 'LOW' score for these specific concerns.
