Safety score · 0–100
Fine
Derived from EU CosIng regulatory status, PubChem hazard data and published research. How we score.
A cyclic six-amino-acid peptide used as a skin-conditioning agent. Cyclization improves on-skin stability; independent safety/efficacy data are limited.
Cyclohexapeptide-90 is a head-to-tail cyclized six-residue peptide for cosmetic skin-conditioning use. Cyclic peptides resist exopeptidase degradation, giving longer functional residence on skin than linear peptides. Used at parts-per-million levels in serums and creams. No independent CIR or SCCS review of this specific INCI is available; efficacy claims rely on supplier studies. Listed in EU CosIng. Conservative classification is yellow with low evidence.
