About

A synthetic hexapeptide conjugated with two caffeoyl groups, designed as an antioxidant and collagen-protective active ingredient.

Dicaffeoyl Lysyl Hexapeptide-65 combines the antioxidant power of caffeic acid with a short lysine-based peptide sequence. The dicaffeoyl modification enhances stability and skin penetration compared to unmodified caffeic acid. Peptides of this size are generally well-tolerated with low sensitisation potential. EU cosmetics allow synthetic peptides without specific restriction unless classified as CMR substances.

Skin benefits

  • Antioxidant protection against free radicals
  • Collagen degradation inhibition
  • Anti-inflammatory properties of caffeic acid moiety

Known concerns

  • Potential for trace caffeic acid oxidation
  • Generally low irritation profile for peptides
