About

A synthetic peptide that mimics a fragment of the human enzyme pappalysin-1, used in cosmetics for skin conditioning and improving the appearance of firmness.

SH-Pentapeptide-17 SP is a single-chain human peptide produced synthetically to be identical to a portion of Pappalysin-1, consisting of asparagine, aspartic acid, lysine, and methionine residues. It is not classified under EU Annex II or III restrictions and is considered a low-risk cosmetic ingredient, though as a relatively recent bioactive peptide, long-term post-market data remain limited. Peptides of this type are widely used in anti-aging formulations without significant safety signals in the literature.
