SR-RAINBOW TROUT OLIGOPEPTIDE-1 SH-POLYPEPTIDE-9.

Insufficient Data / HAIR CONDITIONING, SKIN CONDITIONING - EMOLLIENT, SKIN PROTECTING

This advanced peptide blend combines SR-Rainbow Trout Oligopeptide-1, acting as a Fibroblast Growth Factor (FGF) or Epidermal Growth Factor (EGF), with SH-Polypeptide-9, a Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF). Together, they target comprehensive skin regeneration, enhance healing processes, and stimulate the crucial production of collagen and elastin for improved skin firmness and vitality.

Science

SR-Rainbow Trout Oligopeptide-1 promotes skin regeneration by stimulating epidermal cell proliferation, accelerating skin renewal and repair, and enhancing the synthesis of collagen and elastin. This action aims to improve the skin barrier, suppress inflammatory reactions, and reduce the appearance of cutaneous scars. SH-Polypeptide-9, a cell signaling protein, primarily induces angiogenesis—the formation of new blood vessels. This mechanism facilitates enhanced nutrient and oxygen delivery to skin cells, supports fibroblast activity, promotes overall cellular growth and migration, and aids in wound healing, contributing to smoother, firmer skin and optimized skin vitality.

Safety

CIR Status
Not reviewed
Sensitization risk Unknown

A product containing 'sr-rainbow trout oligopeptide-1 sh-polypeptide-9' is classified by DailyMed as an 'unapproved drug other,' meaning its labeling lacks FDA approval for safety and effectiveness for its stated uses. While topical application of growth factors is generally considered safe due to limited deep penetration, theoretical concerns regarding their potential to stimulate unwanted cell proliferation (e.g., cancer) have been raised. Long-term risks for sh-oligopeptide-1 as a cosmetic ingredient are currently unknown. For SH-Polypeptide-9 specifically, EWG Skin Deep rates its hazard 'LOW' for Allergies, Immunotoxicity, and Developmental and Reproductive Toxicity, but notes its cancer risk as 'unknown/unassessed' due to insufficient weight of evidence.

Our Assessment

Insufficient Data

While the mechanistic pathways of this combined growth factor and signaling protein suggest promising regenerative and anti-aging benefits, direct clinical efficacy data specifically for the ingredient are limited and FDA approval for efficacy in products containing it is absent, warranting further comprehensive safety and effectiveness research.
