About

A seven-amino-acid synthetic peptide complexed with zinc for skin conditioning. Trace-level cosmetic active with limited published independent data.

Zinc heptapeptide-48 is a synthetic seven-amino-acid peptide formulated as a zinc complex for skin-conditioning use. It belongs to the broader zinc-peptide family that takes inspiration from copper-peptide chemistry. Used at parts-per-million concentrations. There is no SCCS or CIR opinion on this specific peptide; toxicology rests on supplier dossiers. Zinc at trace cosmetic levels is generally well tolerated; sensitive skin may rarely react.
