Amerigo Scientific Unveils Active Venom Peptides to Power Up Cosmetic Product Research and Development

Recently, Amerigo Scientific introduced its collection of active venom peptides specifically designed to advance cosmetic product research and development. These biologically derived compounds represent a significant leap forward in sustainable, high-efficacy cosmetic ingredients that address pressing consumer demands for effective anti-aging and skin rejuvenation solutions.

Everyday chemicals may irritate skin, causing unsightly redness and inflammation. And some heavy metal microparticles, such as lead, zinc, and cadmium in the air pollution, may stick to skin, increasing signs of aging (e.g., dark spots, wrinkles, and dullness). Amerigo Scientific unveils cosmetic peptides that have the efficacy of protecting skin from pollutants and reducing inflammation.

The newly unveiled portfolio harnesses the power of venom-derived bioactives from various natural sources, including scorpions, butterflies, carpet vipers, and lionfish, offering cosmetic manufacturers cutting-edge ingredients backed by rigorous scientific research. These venom peptides regulate ion channels such as NAV, K2PS, ASIC, and CAV and can be used for anti-wrinkle, skin rejuvenation, and sensitive skin. In detail, Amerigo Scientific’s venom peptides for cosmetic products feature several breakthrough ingredients, including:

• ScorpSoothe™ tetra peptide: The ScorpSoothe™ tetra peptide reduces PLA2 activity by 55% in-vitro. This peptide is non-toxic to human cells in culture, water-soluble, and amenable to many formulations. This includes such products as moisturisers, cleansers, and foundation. Suggested claims could include reducing redness and skin irritation.

• MorphoClense™: The MorphoClense™ has been shown, in vitro, to achieve a 73% reduction in PLA2 activity. It is non-toxic to human cells in culture, water-soluble, and amenable to many formulations. Suggested formulations include washes, cleansers, and scrubs with claims for reducing redness and irritation.

• ViPep-5™: The ViPep-5™ is a biologically active peptide derived from carpet viper venom. Moisturisers could be formulated from ViPep-5™ to protect skin from metal ions and other toxins. A face wash or scrub could be formulated to remove these pollutants from the skin. ViPep-5™ has been shown to reduce the amount of zinc by up to 87%.

• LioPep-5™: LioPep-5™ is a biologically active peptide from the lionfish that collects zinc and other metal ions. It has been shown to reduce zinc contamination by up to 89%. Moisturisers could be formulated to protect skin by binding to the ions and isolating them. Scrubs, cleansers, and face washes could be formulated to remove these toxins from the skin.

Amerigo Scientific’s venom peptides are now available for cosmetic product development. With the commitment to quality, technical expertise, and customer support, Amerigo Scientific has established itself as a trusted partner for advancing scientific discovery and product innovation.
