Derived from EU CosIng regulatory status, PubChem hazard data and published research. How we score.

A three-amino-acid synthetic peptide used as a skin-conditioning signal. Trace use levels and benign chemistry, but limited public data.

Tripeptide-121 is a synthetic three-amino-acid peptide marketed as a skin-conditioning active. Like most numbered cosmetic peptides it is used at parts-per-million levels and is generally non-sensitizing and rapidly metabolised on the skin. There is no SCCS or CIR opinion; toxicology and efficacy rest on supplier dossiers. Independent published evidence for its specific actions is limited.
