Peptide Compound

A highly functionalized synthetic dipeptide salt used in cosmetics as a skin-conditioning peptide. Public cosmetic references identify it as an INCI ingredient in the peptide category, but open technical data are sparse, so most use details must be inferred conservatively from typical peptide-formulation behavior.

Risks & Warnings

Low intrinsic hazard is expected for a cosmetic peptide salt, but the evidence base is limited. Potential issues are mainly formula-dependent irritation, pH instability outside mild ranges, or sensitivity in very reactive skin.
