About
Pentapeptide-61 — a synthetic signalling-peptide active. Plausible at low % but mostly supplier-evidenced.
Pentapeptide-61 is a synthetic five-amino-acid peptide used in skincare for cell-signalling and skin-conditioning claims. Listed in EU CosIng; no dedicated SCCS opinion. Use levels are low (ppm range). Public peer-reviewed safety data is sparse; most information comes from supplier dossiers and in-vitro studies. Patch-test record appears unremarkable at typical use levels but cannot substitute for long-term population data. Evidence level low.
