About
A five-amino-acid synthetic peptide used as a skin-conditioning signal. Low use levels limit irritation; published independent data is limited.
Pentapeptide-117 is a synthetic five-amino-acid peptide marketed as a skin-conditioning active. Cosmetic peptides of this class are used at parts-per-million levels and are generally non-sensitizing and rapidly metabolised on the skin. There is no SCCS or CIR opinion; toxicology and efficacy rest on supplier dossiers. Specific efficacy claims should be viewed with caution until independent clinical data is available.
