Derived from EU CosIng regulatory status, PubChem hazard data and published research. How we score.
A synthetic seven-amino-acid peptide used as a skin-conditioning agent. Designer heptapeptide with limited public safety/efficacy literature.
Heptapeptide-61 is a seven-residue synthetic peptide developed for cosmetic skin-conditioning use. Like other designer heptapeptides it is supplied dilute and dosed at parts-per-million concentrations in serums and creams. The class is generally regarded as low-irritation due to poor stratum corneum penetration and rapid degradation. No independent CIR or SCCS review of this specific INCI is available; efficacy claims rely on supplier-sponsored studies. Listed in EU CosIng. Conservative tier: yellow with low evidence.
