Science
Mechanism of Action
The mechanism involves the combined action of its two primary components: sr-rainbow trout oligopeptide-1 and sh-polypeptide-62. Sh-polypeptide-62 acts as a biomimetic of Hepatocyte Growth Factor (HGF), a signaling protein known for its anti-aging and wound healing properties. Growth factors generally interact with keratinocyte receptors, thereby activating cellular pathways that promote accelerated new skin cell production, stimulate the synthesis of essential structural proteins such as collagen and elastin, and enhance overall skin texture. These actions collectively aim to improve skin repair, foster self-regeneration, support the formation of new blood vessels, reduce inflammatory responses, minimize scar appearance, and provide sustained moisturization.

Stability
For optimal stability, products containing similar oligopeptide-polypeptide combinations should be stored within a temperature range of 2°C to 25°C (36°F to 77°F). Freezing and exposure to excessive heat above 40°C (104°F) should be avoided.
Safety
Safety Profile
The Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) has not yet evaluated the safety of this ingredient. It is important to note that products containing variations of 'sr-Rainbow Trout Oligopeptide-1 sh-Polypeptide' (including those similar to sh-Polypeptide-62) have been classified by the FDA as 'unapproved drug other,' meaning they have not been determined to be safe or effective, and their labeling has not received FDA approval.
