Safety score · 0–100

Fine

Derived from EU CosIng regulatory status, PubChem hazard data and published research. How we score.

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

Decapeptide-43 is a defined-sequence synthetic ten-amino-acid peptide used as a skin-conditioning agent. Decapeptides are at the upper end of "short" cosmetic peptides but still well within the low-permeation, rapid-degradation regime that gives the class its favorable safety record. There is no specific CIR or SCCS opinion. Independent peer-reviewed efficacy data is essentially absent; most claims rely on supplier in vitro work.
