About

A synthetic 6-amino-acid peptide used as a skin-conditioning active. Plausibly safe at trace levels; independent data is limited.

Hexapeptide-93 is a synthetic hexapeptide (6 amino acids) supplied for cosmetic use at parts-per-million levels as a skin-conditioning and signaling agent. Like most numbered INCI peptides, it is offered by individual ingredient houses for visible-aging or firmness benefits. There is no CIR or SCCS monograph and no published GHS classification specific to it. Short peptides have negligible intact penetration of skin, and irritation potential at use levels is very low. Independent efficacy and long-term safety data are thin; real-world risk is dominated by carriers, preservatives, and counterions in the finished formulation rather than the peptide itself.
