About
A 39-amino-acid synthetic peptide included in the INCI database primarily as a reference definition for other peptide INCI names, and not as a marketed cosmetic ingredient.
Oligopeptide-220 is catalogued in the INCI database as a 39-amino-acid synthetic peptide containing alanine, arginine, aspartic acid, glutamic acid, glutamine, glycine, histidine, leucine, lysine, methionine, phenylalanine, proline, serine, threonine, and valine. The CosIng description explicitly states this ingredient may not be a marketed cosmetic ingredient — it serves as a reference definition for the nomenclature of other named oligopeptides. As such, it has not undergone the same safety assessment as actively used cosmetic ingredients.
Function
Known concerns
- Not confirmed as an actively marketed cosmetic ingredient — safety data may not exist
- Inclusion in INCI database does not constitute EU market approval
- Cannot be used in cosmetic formulations without confirmed safety assessment
- Low marketed product count suggests it is primarily a nomenclature reference
