About
A fatty-acid-linked peptide designed to condition skin and stay on the surface more effectively.
Palmitoyl Dipeptide-52 is the product obtained by the reaction of palmitic acid and Dipeptide-52. The attached fatty chain helps the peptide associate with the skin surface, which is why ingredients like this are used for conditioning claims. These materials are typically used at low levels and are not strongly hazardous, but evidence for each exact peptide is usually limited.
