sh-Polypeptide-14 is a recombinant human peptide associated with Nerve Growth Factor Beta (NGF-β) and is used as a specialized cosmetic ingredient for hair-conditioning and skin-protecting applications. It is produced through recombinant biotechnology using fermentation in E. coli.
sh-Polypeptide-14 is suitable for selected cosmetic formulations such as hair-care products, serums, creams, lotions and other premium peptide-based formulations.
sh-Polypeptide-14 is a single-chain recombinant human peptide produced through fermentation in E. coli. The starting gene is synthesized to have the same coding sequence as the human gene for Nerve Growth Factor Beta and may be used directly or adapted for the production host.
The ingredient contains a maximum of 241 amino acids and may contain disulfide bonds and/or glycosylation. The protein consists of the standard amino acids.
Its listed cosmetic functions are Hair Conditioning and Skin Protecting.
sh-Polypeptide-14 can be incorporated into cosmetic formulations where specialized peptide ingredients are required for hair-conditioning and skin-protecting applications.
Common formulation formats include:
The concentration, carrier system and processing conditions should be selected according to the technical documentation for the specific commercial grade.
sh-Polypeptide-14 can be used in selected skin-care formulations as a skin-protecting cosmetic ingredient. Its peptide identity makes it suitable for specialized cosmetic formulations where advanced peptide ingredients are required.
Potential applications include:
Formulators should consider:
sh-Polypeptide-14 can be incorporated into suitable cosmetic systems. Actual solubility depends on the commercial grade, concentration, carrier system and finished formulation.
As a recombinant peptide/protein-based cosmetic ingredient, unnecessary exposure to excessive heat should be avoided. Where appropriate, incorporation during the cooler stage of processing can help maintain peptide integrity.
The supplier's technical documentation should be followed for exact processing conditions.
The formulation pH should be selected according to the specific commercial grade and finished-product requirements. Compatibility and stability should be evaluated during formulation development.
Storage conditions are grade-specific. The supplier's TDS, SDS and COA should be followed for exact storage temperature, packaging and shelf-life requirements.
sh-Polypeptide-14 can be considered for:
sh-Polypeptide-14 is a recombinant human peptide associated with Nerve Growth Factor Beta (NGF-β) and used in cosmetics primarily for hair-conditioning and skin-protecting applications.
The INCI name is sh-Polypeptide-14.
The available cosmetic ingredient records do not provide a confirmed CAS number for the standard sh-Polypeptide-14 identity. Therefore, N/A / Not Assigned should be used unless the specific supplier COA/TDS provides a CAS number.
The Korean Cosmetic Association ingredient code is 18778.
The listed functions are Hair Conditioning and Skin Protecting.
