What Resurrection Polypeptide Cream is made of, ingredients and materials
Resurrection Polypeptide Cream is formulated around plant-derived polypeptides and botanical actives suspended in a typical cosmetic cream base (likely water, glycerin, emollients, and preservatives). Polypeptides are short chains of amino acids that do not present the chemical stability or toxicology concerns of synthetic peptides or hormonal actives. The cream base itself is standard across the cosmetic industry and poses no documented hazard class concerns when properly preserved and stored.
What’s concerning
Category baseline
The starting point for this type of product, before anything specific to this product is counted.
No PFAS disclosure
No public statement from the brand about PFAS in this product.
Fragrance and botanical allergens
Cosmetic creams with plant-based actives and fragrance systems carry inherent risk of contact dermatitis or allergic sensitization, particularly in individuals with sensitive skin. No specific allergen declaration or fragrance transparency is noted in available product information.
Preservative degradation and microbial growth
Cosmetic creams are prone to microbial colonization if contaminated during use or storage, or if the preservative system weakens over time. Proper storage, sealed containers, and replacement schedules mitigate this risk but are the consumer's responsibility.
What’s reassuring
Base material not linked to PFAS
The main material recorded for this product is not one associated with PFAS.
Formaldehyde / VOCs
No evidence of formaldehyde releasers (imidazolidinyl urea, DMDM hydantoin, etc.) has been documented for this product. However, Cocokind does not publicly disclose its full preservative system, so this assessment is limited to the absence of reported incidents.
Source, ATSDR ↗Heavy metals
Plant-based polypeptides and botanical actives can accumulate heavy metals (lead, cadmium, arsenic) from soil, depending on sourcing and processing. No testing or contamination incidents are on record for this product or brand, but ingredient sourcing transparency is not published.
Source, FDA ↗1,4-dioxane contamination
1,4-dioxane can be a byproduct of ethoxylation in surfactants and emulsifiers used in cream bases. No specific hazard alert or recall has been issued for this product, and the likelihood depends on supplier and manufacturing controls not disclosed by the brand.
How is this PFAS grade calculated?
The brand's record and disclosure
Cocokind markets itself as a plant-forward, clean beauty brand but does not publicly disclose full ingredient lists, preservative choices, or third-party certifications on the product level. No recalls, regulatory actions, or established safety controversies are on record for this specific product or the brand. The company's stance on PFAS, flame retardants, and other intentional chemical additives remains undisclosed, limiting independent verification of manufacturing practices.
How it compares in its category
Polypeptide creams occupy the mid-to-premium skincare segment. This product's reliance on plant-based peptides rather than synthetic or recombinant proteins is typical of the clean beauty market and does not confer additional safety risk compared to conventional moisturizers. Most cosmetic creams in this price tier carry similar low hazard profiles for the common concerns (1,4-dioxane, formaldehyde releasers, heavy metal pigments) unless those hazards are specifically documented.
If you buy it
Store this cream in a cool, dark place and keep the container sealed between uses to prevent contamination and preserve the integrity of the preservative system. Do not apply to broken or severely irritated skin without patch testing first. Replace if you observe discoloration, separation, or off-odors, which may indicate breakdown of the emulsion or preservative failure. Discontinue use immediately if any rash, sensitization, or allergic reaction occurs; fragrance and botanical extracts can trigger reactions in sensitive individuals.
