TRANSGENIC SILKWORM RH-OLIGOPEPTIDE-2.

Insufficient Data / SKIN CONDITIONING

Transgenic Silkworm rh-Oligopeptide-2, also known as SH-Oligopeptide-2 or Insulin-like Growth Factor 1 (IGF-1), is a bio-engineered protein. It is hypothesized to support skin vitality by promoting cellular proliferation and aiding in dermal repair processes.

Skin Conditioning Cell-communicating ingredient

Science

This oligopeptide functions as a cell-communicating agent, stimulating the division and growth of skin cells, which may facilitate wound healing and overall skin regeneration. Research suggests a synergistic action with Epidermal Growth Factor (EGF), potentially enhancing keratinocyte proliferation more effectively than either ingredient alone.

The Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) has highlighted insufficient data for various silk protein ingredients, issuing an 'Insufficient Data Announcement' in 2015 for related compounds like MEA-Hydrolyzed Silk and Silkworm Cocoon Extract. A specific safety assessment, including maximum concentration levels, for TRANSGENIC SILKWORM RH-OLIGOPEPTIDE-2 or SH-Oligopeptide-2 as a distinct cosmetic ingredient is currently not available in public records.

Our Assessment

Insufficient Data

While theoretically offering significant benefits for skin regeneration and conditioning through cellular communication, the absence of comprehensive clinical studies and safety assessments necessitates a cautious approach.
