About
Lauroyl Dipeptide-75 — a fatty-acid-linked peptide that sticks to skin lipids. Safety looks fine at use levels, but data is mostly supplier-sourced.
Lauroyl Dipeptide-75 is a synthetic cosmetic active combining a short peptide with a lauric acid (C12) tail. The lipid anchor increases substantivity at the skin-lipid interface, and the dipeptide portion is marketed for skin-conditioning claims. Listed in EU CosIng; no dedicated SCCS opinion. Most toxicological data is from supplier dossiers rather than peer-reviewed literature, so evidence level is low. Typical inclusion is in the parts-per-million range, which keeps exposure modest and has supported a generally unremarkable patch-test record. Sensitisation or long-term risk cannot be ruled out given the limited public dossier.
