About

A synthesised hexapeptide with skin-conditioning properties, used in advanced skincare formulations for its potential barrier-supporting and anti-aging activity.

SH-Hexapeptide-9 SP Acetate is a synthetic six-amino-acid peptide of the SH class (indicating N-terminal stearyl or fatty acid modification for enhanced penetration). The SP designation refers to a specific polymer or delivery system (e.g., sodium polyacrylate or similar). Listed in EU CosIng without restrictions. Peptides of this type are generally safe at cosmetic use levels, and the fatty acid modification provides both enhanced delivery and emollient character. No significant irritation, sensitisation, or systemic toxicity concerns at recommended concentrations.
