About
A biotech peptide used to condition skin or hair and support a smoother feel. Peptides are usually low-dose and low-risk, though newer ones often have limited independent data.
Pentapeptide-50 is the synthetic peptide consisting of alanine, arginine, glycine, serine and tyrosine. Peptide ingredients are usually used at low concentrations for conditioning or signalling-style effects and are not expected to have high skin penetration. No major hazard flags are listed in the batch data, so the main uncertainty is limited ingredient-specific human data.
