Is the "scorpion venom" in this cream real venom? Is it safe? — В 60 как в 30 Яд скоропиона/живокост крем для тела 125ml (KorolevFarm)

The name "scorpion venom" is alarming, but the cream does not contain real venom. The ingredient is a Syn-Ake type peptide — a synthetic molecule that mimics a fragment of the natural scorpion venom peptide. This is a common approach in cosmetic peptides: a small, safe molecule designed to have a specific effect on the skin's surface.

In this formula, the peptide helps relax the look of expression lines and visually smooths the skin's micro-relief. It does not enter the body or produce the effects of actual venom. It is a cosmetic-grade ingredient, and the product is a cosmetic, not a medicine — it works on the visual qualities of the skin.

If you have very sensitive skin or a known allergy to synthetic peptides, it is sensible to do a patch test on a small area before applying it to larger areas. Avoid applying on broken skin, fresh wounds or irritated areas, and discontinue use if you notice redness or itching.
