About

A synthetic five-amino-acid peptide for skin conditioning at trace concentrations. Low-risk by class, limited independent evidence.

Pentapeptide-56 is a defined-sequence five-amino-acid synthetic peptide used as a skin-conditioning active. Pentapeptides in cosmetic use have a generally clean safety record — they are too large to deeply penetrate, biodegrade rapidly into constituent amino acids, and rarely sensitize. There is no specific CIR or SCCS opinion published for this peptide. Efficacy data is largely supplier-derived and not independently replicated. Treated as low-risk, low-evidence.
