About

A dipeptide-12 lysinamide with eight carboxymethyl groups — highly water-soluble skin-conditioning peptide. Evidence is entirely supplier-level.

Octacarboxymethyl dipeptide-12 lysinamide is an aggressively carboxymethylated derivative of a dipeptide amidated with lysine. Eight carboxymethyl groups make the molecule highly water-soluble and give it metal-chelating character on top of standard peptide-signal claims. No CIR or SCCS monograph covers this specific grade, and public efficacy data is limited to supplier brochures. As with other short modified peptides, class-level safety is reassuring and use levels are typically in the ppm range, but there is not enough independent evidence to move it above mid-yellow.
