About

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

Pentapeptide-45 is a synthetic pentapeptide supplied for cosmetic use at parts-per-million levels as a skin-conditioning and signaling active. Like other numbered INCI pentapeptides, it is offered by individual ingredient houses for visible-aging or firmness benefits. There is no CIR or SCCS opinion specific to this peptide and no published GHS classification. Short peptides at trace levels have negligible intact skin penetration and very low irritation potential. Independent efficacy and long-term safety data are sparse; real-world risk is dominated by the surrounding formulation.
