Amerigo Scientific recently announced the launch of its new cosmetic peptides – LioPep-5 to protect the skin from toxins and pollutants.
New York, United States – October 28, 2022 – Amerigo Scientific, a distributor specializing in providing essential products and services to the biomedical and life science communities, recently announced the launch of its new cosmetic peptides – LioPep-5 to protect the skin from toxins and pollutants. These peptides are synthetically made and free of any animal products, making them stable and non-toxic to human cell culture.
Venom is a mixture that animals have developed for protection and predation. Although the composition varies from animal to animal, most venoms are heterogeneous mixtures of inorganic salts, small organic molecules, peptides and enzymes. Many species of animals secrete venom, covering nearly all of the different phyla of the animal kingdom, such as molluscs, arthropods, and vertebrates. As natural products, the wide variety of venoms provides almost limitless possibilities for uncovering potential clues. Venom-derived products and tools are now widely used in cosmetics and medicine.
The venoms contain a variety of active antibacterial and antifungal peptides which are not only functional but also biodegradable. Certain venom peptides that modulate ion channels (such as NAV, K2PS, ASIC, and CAV) can be used for anti-wrinkle, rejuvenation, and sensitive skin. Amerigo Scientific has partnered with the world’s leading suppliers to provide cosmetic products containing active venom peptides such as anti-inflammatory peptides, anti-pollution peptides and other novel skin-enhancing peptides.
Amerigo Scientific now offers a range of venom-derived screening tools and novel peptides for drug discovery, cosmetics and crop science, such as the recently launched LioPep-5. Lionfish (Pterois spp.) is a tropical reef fish that can quickly colonize new reefs that process toxins produced by marine pollution by binding to toxic substances (heavy metals and organic chlorides), thus carrying away the toxic of their skin. Likewise, these same toxins are present in polluted urban air and can accumulate on human skin.
LioPep-5™ is a bioactive peptide derived from lionfish that binds zinc and other metal ions. During this time, moisturizers can be formulated to protect the skin by binding to and sequestering ions. Scrubs, cleansers, and facial cleansers can also be formulated to remove toxins. Last but not least, LioPep-5™ has been shown to reduce zinc contamination by up to 89%.
