Tetrapeptide-109 is an INCI-numbered proprietary tetrapeptide. Class-level, tetrapeptides have a long safety track record — several (e.g., acetyl tetrapeptide-5, palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7) have published independent data. For this specific numbered grade, efficacy support comes from the supplier and no CIR or SCCS monograph exists. Typical use: ppm to sub-percent in leave-on skincare.
