About

A synthetic ten-amino-acid peptide used in skin-conditioning products. Low-risk by class; specific evidence is thin.

Decapeptide-22 is a defined-sequence synthetic ten-amino-acid peptide used as a skin-conditioning agent. As with other numbered cosmetic decapeptides, the molecule is at the upper end of "short" peptides but still within the low-permeation, rapid-degradation regime that supports the favorable class safety profile. There is no specific CIR or SCCS review. Independent peer-reviewed efficacy data is essentially absent; claims rely on supplier in vitro work.
