NICOTIANA BENTHAMIANA HEXAPEPTIDE-40 SH-POLYPEPTIDE-47

Nicotiana benthamiana hexapeptide-40 sh-polypeptide-47 is a fusion peptide of hexapeptide-40 with a single-chain recombinant human peptide, produced by the plant Nicotiana benthamiana, a relative of tobacco, after genetic transformation. According to CosIng, whose monograph for this name is still under development, the starting gene is synthesised to be identical to the human gene coding for collagen alpha-1, and the fusion peptide contains 116 amino acids. CosIng lists it as a skin-conditioning ingredient.

The INCI list shows which ingredients are present, not how much of each. Above 1%, ingredients are listed in descending order of weight; below 1% the order is free.

The prefix sh in the INCI name marks a peptide made to be identical to a human sequence; the name does not show how much is used.
