About
A lab-made peptide used for skin conditioning or signaling. Peptides are usually used at tiny levels and are often well tolerated, but the real-world benefit is often modest.
This ingredient is a synthetic peptide used as a skin-conditioning or skin-protecting active. Peptides are generally used at low levels and are not known as major systemic toxicants in cosmetic use, but they still have less long-term public safety data than very common core ingredients. In practice, the main limitation is uncertainty and over-marketing more than obvious high toxicity.
