About

A synthetic peptide complex commonly used in anti-aging skincare for its purported ability to support collagen production.

Oligopeptide-3 is a synthetic signal peptide consisting of defined amino acid sequences (alanine, leucine, lysine, and phenylalanine in a tridecapeptide structure). Peptides of this type are widely used in cosmetic anti-aging formulations. They are generally well-tolerated with minimal irritation potential, though efficacy claims vary and depend on penetration and concentration. The ingredient is not subject to specific EU restrictions beyond general cosmetic safety requirements.

Skin benefits

  • May stimulate collagen synthesis
  • Used for anti-aging and skin repair claims
