Good
Derived from EU CosIng regulatory status, PubChem hazard data and published research. How we score.
A lab-made peptide used for skin-conditioning or anti-aging claims, generally low risk at cosmetic use levels.
ACETYL HEXAPEPTIDE-8 AMIDE is a synthetic cosmetic peptide used at low levels to support conditioning or signaling-style claims. Peptides of this size usually have limited penetration through intact skin, so systemic exposure is expected to be low. The main limitation is sparse ingredient-specific human data rather than a strong established toxicology problem.
