PALMITOYL S-CROCODILE OCTAPEPTIDE-1 AMIDE
Safety score · 0–100
Good
Derived from EU CosIng regulatory status, PubChem hazard data and published research. How we score.
A synthetic peptide modelled on a crocodile defensin sequence — made in a lab without any animal material. Antimicrobial leaning. Held at 80 because non-human sequences slightly raise the immunogenicity flag.
Function
Skin benefits
- Antimicrobial/skin conditioning potential
- Synthetic — no animal sourcing
- Lipid anchor aids skin penetration
Known concerns
- Crocodile-derived sequences may carry slightly higher theoretical immunogenicity for human skin
- Sparse public safety data on this specific peptide
