About

A synthetic 5-amino-acid peptide for skin conditioning. Plausibly safe at trace levels; data is limited.

Pentapeptide-22 is a synthetic 5-residue peptide supplied as a cosmetic skin-conditioning active at parts-per-million levels. Numbered INCI pentapeptides are typically marketed by specialty ingredient houses for signaling-type benefits such as firmness or visible-aging support. There is no CIR or SCCS opinion specific to this peptide and no published GHS classification. Short peptides have negligible intact skin penetration and very low irritation potential at use levels. Independent efficacy and long-term safety data are thin; real-world risk is dominated by carriers and counterions in the finished formula.
