About S-DNA APTAMER-3
A synthetic single-strand DNA molecule engineered to bind glutathione, offering antioxidant and skin-protecting benefits.
Detailed Analysis
s-DNA Aptamer-3 is a 34-nucleotide single-stranded DNA oligonucleotide that folds into a specific 3D structure with high affinity for glutathione, the body's master antioxidant. By binding and potentially stabilizing glutathione at the skin surface, it may enhance local antioxidant defense. Functions include antioxidant, reducing agent, skin protecting, and humectant. No EU restrictions or GHS hazards, but aptamer-based cosmetics are a novel category with limited long-term clinical data.
