Mechanism of Action (MOA)
μ-Conotoxin is a marine-derived, small linear peptide classified as a voltage-gated sodium channel (Nav) modulator. It interacts selectively with the extracellular pore region of Nav channels on neuronal cell membranes. By binding to these channels, μ-conotoxin influences ion flux and modulates cellular excitability. This targeted interaction may help to support a balanced cellular environment, aligning with cosmetic applications focused on skin comfort and well-being. Suitable for advanced neurocosmetic formulations.
Mu-conotoxin can be incorporated into various cosmetic formulations to support innovative skincare product development.
- Suitable for use in facial creams and serums- Can be added to eye contour products- Compatible with gel-based and emulsion systems- Appropriate for use in leave-on and rinse-off formulations- May be included in targeted treatment products- Recommended usage levels should follow supplier guidelines
