Ingredient type: HUMECTANT/WATER-SOLUBLE

✨ Role: SH-Polypeptide-2 is an active ingredient often used for its anti-aging and regenerating properties. It helps stimulate collagen production in the skin, promoting firmer skin and reducing the appearance of wrinkles.

Ingredient type: Water-soluble

‍⚕️ Safety: Yes, generally considered safe for topical use. However, as with any ingredient, a tolerance test on a small area of skin is advised to avoid any allergic reaction.

✨ Vegan: It depends on the exact source of the polypeptide. If it is derived from synthetic or plant sources, it can be considered vegan. However, it's best to check directly with the manufacturer.

✨ Worth knowing: Polypeptides can be sensitive to light and heat, so storing them in a cool, dark place is recommended to maintain their efficacy. They are generally well tolerated, but can sometimes cause mild irritation on very sensitive skin.
