Safety score · 0–100

Fine

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

A synthetic nine-amino-acid peptide used for skin conditioning. Low-risk by peptide class; specific evidence limited.

Nonapeptide-38 is a defined-sequence synthetic nine-amino-acid peptide used as a skin-conditioning agent. Nonapeptides remain in the low-permeation, rapid-degradation regime that gives short cosmetic peptides their generally favorable safety profile. There is no specific CIR or SCCS opinion. Independent peer-reviewed efficacy data is essentially absent; most claims trace to supplier in vitro work.
