Oligopeptide-76
Oligopeptide-76
Oligopeptide-76 is a synthetic 13-amino-acid peptide used in cosmetics for skin conditioning and acne-support applications. It is described as an antimicrobial peptide analog of aurein 1.2, with formulation use centered on helping support clearer-looking skin and maintaining skin condition. Because it is a peptide active, it is typically used at low levels and in finished leave-on products rather than as a standalone treatment ingredient.

Risks & Warnings
Data are limited, but peptides are generally low-risk. Possible concerns include rare sensitization or irritation from the finished formula, impurities, or delivery systems rather than the peptide itself. Safety should still be considered in the context of the full product, especially for very sensitive or compromised skin.
