Nicotiana benthamiana hexapeptide-40 (same INCI) is a recombinant peptide produced in tobacco plants through biotechnology. The manufacturer proposes it as a signaling peptide tied to skin renewal and firmness. It pays to be clear about efficacy. Signaling peptides are a promising line, but for this hexapeptide the independent data is sparse and rests mostly on the supplier. Count it as a supporting active with still-limited evidence, not an assured result. During pregnancy and breastfeeding it is fine to use topically. Tolerance is good: low irritation and low allergy potential, suitable for sensitive skin. An individual reaction is possible but uncommon.
