About
A four-amino-acid synthetic peptide used at very low levels for skin-signaling claims. Generally safe; supporting evidence is mostly proprietary.
Tetrapeptide-82 is a short synthetic peptide composed of four amino acids, sold by ingredient suppliers under proprietary trade names for skin-conditioning and anti-aging claims. As with most synthetic tetrapeptides, exact sequence and clinical efficacy data are usually held by the supplier. Use levels are very low (often parts per million), and the peptide itself is not associated with toxicity, sensitization, or systemic exposure concerns. There is no formal CIR or SCCS review specific to this peptide; safety is inferred from the broader tetrapeptide class, which has a clean tolerance record.
