About
A lab-made peptide used for skin-conditioning claims and smoother-looking skin.
Acetyl sh-Hexapeptide-5 Amide Acetate is the acetate salt of the product obtained by the acetylation of sh-Hexapeptide-5 SP in which the C-terminus of the peptide is an amide. This is a synthetic or recombinant peptide used for skin-conditioning claims and is typically present at low concentrations. The main limitation is that safety and efficacy evidence is usually ingredient-specific and much thinner than for classic moisturizers.
