Science

MICROBIAL CELLULOSE/SR-SPIDER POLYPEPTIDE-3 HEXAPEPTIDE-40 functions as a dual-action skin conditioning agent. The microbial cellulose component provides immediate emollient, humectant, and occlusive properties, effectively softening the skin, smoothing its texture, and preserving optimal moisture levels by impeding transepidermal water evaporation. Concurrently, the Sr-Spider Polypeptide-3 Hexapeptide-40 peptide directly signals the skin to activate its intrinsic repair mechanisms. This targeted cellular communication helps stimulate the regeneration of mature skin, fortify its structural integrity, and contributes to a noticeable reduction in the appearance of wrinkles, alongside improvements in complexion clarity and skin elasticity. Related peptide complexes also indicate a capacity to form a protective barrier, shielding skin from environmental stressors and mitigating premature aging.

The CIR Expert Panel has confirmed the safety of microbial polysaccharide gums, including microbial cellulose, for cosmetic use under current practices. While peptides generally demonstrate a favorable safety profile, the CIR Panel acknowledges a theoretical potential for Type I immediate hypersensitivity reactions from protein-derived ingredients. No specific regulatory assessment (CIR, SCCS, or FDA) for this exact combined ingredient, MICROBIAL CELLULOSE/SR-SPIDER POLYPEPTIDE-3 HEXAPEPTIDE-40, has been established.
