About
An acetylated heptapeptide with skin-conditioning and anti-aging properties, similar in structure and function to other established cosmetic peptides.
Acetyl Heptapeptide-51 Acetate is an acetylated seven-amino-acid peptide listed in EU CosIng without restrictions. The acetylation of the N-terminus improves peptide stability against protease degradation, enhancing its residence time in the skin. Peptides of this length are typically used as moisturising and skin-conditioning agents, and the heptapeptide length allows for specific receptor interactions. No significant safety concerns have been identified for this peptide family in cosmetic use.
