About
A lab-made peptide used as a skin-conditioning signal ingredient, usually at very low levels.
This is a synthetic cosmetic peptide used as a low-dose conditioning or signaling ingredient. Peptides of this type usually have low intrinsic toxicity and low use levels, so the main uncertainties are formulation quality and the relatively limited amount of long-term independent human data.
