Science
Mechanism of Action
This peptide operates by signaling the skin to activate its endogenous repair processes. It stimulates the regeneration of mature skin cells, thereby strengthening the skin's overall structure and contributing to a visible reduction in wrinkles. Classified as a type C botulinum toxin peptide, it offers similar wrinkle-reducing effects through topical application, enhancing skin elasticity and improving complexion.

Safety Profile
The Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) Expert Panel has not specifically evaluated SH-PENTAPEPTIDE-12 SP. While some related hexapeptides have been deemed safe in current practices, SH-PENTAPEPTIDE-12 SP is structurally distinct as a pentapeptide, meaning its safety profile would require independent assessment.
