sh-Polypeptide-6 is a synthetic recombinant single-chain peptide, an analog of human Interleukin 10 (IL-10). Interleukin 10 is an anti-inflammatory cytokine that regulates the immune response and antibody production.
sh-Polypeptide-6 cures itching and burning where the skin has come into contact with an allergen. It is effective in the case of psoriasis, an abnormal immune system that produces too many of the immune cells.
Playing a role of an anti-histamine or immuno-suppressor agent, sh-Polypeptide-6 reduces scratching inhibiting the autoimmune reactions. It is a safe soothing ingredient for reactive or sensitive skin.
