Safety score · 0–100

Fine

Derived from EU CosIng regulatory status, PubChem hazard data and published research. How we score.

A tetrapeptide modified with a nicotinoyl (vitamin B3) group. Combines peptide and niacin chemistry as a skin-conditioning active.

Nicotinoyl tetrapeptide-140 is a synthetic four-amino-acid peptide modified with a nicotinoyl (vitamin B3-derived) acyl group. The design borrows from the well-tolerated chemistry of niacinamide and short cosmetic peptides, used at parts-per-million levels. There is no SCCS or CIR opinion specific to this conjugate; toxicology rests on supplier dossiers. Nicotinoyl conjugates can rarely cause a transient mild flush in highly sensitive users, similar to high-dose niacin.
