Acetyl Hexapeptide-1 Powder (Melitane Type)

Acetyl Hexapeptide-1 is the INCI name of the peptide sold under the Melitane trade name.

A peptide for a warmer glow

Acetyl Hexapeptide-1 is sold for a different brief from most hexapeptides. Instead of expression lines, supplier copy places it in products for a warmer, more even-looking glow, the kind of story told by sun-season body lotions and radiance creams. The INCI is Acetyl Hexapeptide-1, widely known by the trade name Melitane, and the CAS is 448944-47-6. This listing is the powder.

Not Argireline

The number matters. Argireline is Acetyl Hexapeptide-8, an expression-line peptide. Hexapeptide-1 is a different sequence. Melitan carries Acetyl Hexapeptide-1 in a glycerin, water and dextran solution, which suits teams that prefer not to weigh dry peptide. Compare the dry options in our peptide powders.

Working with the powder

Dissolving

Weigh the powder on a calibrated balance, dissolve it completely in a small portion of the formula water before it meets the rest of the batch, and add that premix in cool-down, below 40 °C. Check that the premix is fully clear before you add it.

Compatibility

Existing notes for this SKU say to keep it away from strong oxidizers and high-ionic-strength systems, such as products very rich in salts. A mild, water-rich base is the safest home.

Level

This card does not state a use percentage, so follow the CoA and the supplier documentation for the level.

Product types that suit it

Glow serums, radiance day creams, body lotions, after-sun style gels and tinted moisturizers.

Pairing ideas

Glycerin, sodium hyaluronate, aloe and light emollients such as squalane. Add each active separately and check clarity, odor and viscosity after each addition instead of premixing several actives in one beaker.

Example architecture

Water, glycerin, aloe, a light emulsion base, the Acetyl Hexapeptide-1 premix at the supplier level, a chelator and a preservative. The level comes from the CoA, so no gram recipe is shown here.

Claims

Describe skin that looks more radiant, even and glowing with regular use. Keep claims cosmetic and tied to appearance. Any before-and-after statement needs a test on the finished product, not on the raw material.

Testing the finished product

Run a stability check on the finished product at room temperature, at 40 °C and in a fridge for several weeks, and watch color, odor, clarity, viscosity and pH. Check the product in its final pack too, since pumps, droppers and jars expose it to air differently. A preservative challenge test on the final product is the standard step before launch.

Lot handling and storage

Record appearance and pH on arrival, compare them with the CoA, and keep the CoA with your batch records so each finished batch can be traced to its lot. Keep the powder tightly closed and dry, since peptides pick up moisture from the air, and respect the shelf life on the CoA.

Labeling and documents

Write the INCI exactly as the CoA for your lot gives it, in the order the supplier lists it, and keep the CAS line the same as the CoA, including N/A or Mixture where that is what it says. Keep the CoA with your batch records. If your market needs an SDS or a full ingredient breakdown, ask for it before you scale so the paperwork matches the batch you buy.

Ordering

It is sold as a raw material for cosmetic formulation, not as a finished consumer product. Start with a small pack for bench trials and scale once your stability checks pass. It ships from Florida, usually within 1 to 2 business days, in the pack sizes shown above, and US shipping is free on orders of $50 or more.
