Derived from EU CosIng regulatory status, PubChem hazard data and published research. How we score.
A peptide-caffeic acid hybrid that combines antioxidant, UV-filtering, and skin-protecting properties in one molecule.
Caffeoyl Tetrapeptide-19 Caffeamide is a synthetic peptide derivative in which both the N-terminus and a lysine residue of Tetrapeptide-19 are modified with caffeic acid moieties. This dual modification gives it multifunctional activity including antioxidant capacity, metal chelation, UV absorption, and skin protection. As a novel cosmetic peptide, limited independent safety data exists, but its peptide nature and caffeic acid backbone suggest a favorable safety profile.
