About
A fatty-acid-linked peptide designed to condition skin and stay on the surface more effectively.
Myristoyl Dipeptide-12 Amide is the product obtained by the reaction of myristic acid and Dipeptide-12 in which the C-terminus is an amide. The attached fatty chain helps the peptide associate with the skin surface, which is why ingredients like this are used for conditioning claims. These materials are typically used at low levels and are not strongly hazardous, but evidence for each exact peptide is usually limited.
