Acetyl Hexapeptide-8 and Pentapeptide-18 Solution

Two expression-line peptides in one bottle

This solution combines Acetyl Hexapeptide-8 at 0.050% and Pentapeptide-18 at 0.025% in a light glycerin and water base. The two peptides are often used together in products sold for a smoother look of expression lines on the forehead and around the eyes, and buying them pre-blended saves a dosing step. It is part of our peptide solutions.

INCI

Water (Aqua), Glycerin, Acetyl Hexapeptide-8, Pentapeptide-18, Citric Acid, Caprylyl Glycol.

Blend or single peptides

If you want to adjust each peptide separately, we also stock Acetyl Hexapeptide-8 Solution and Pentapeptide-18 Solution. The duo is the simpler choice for production and keeps the ratio fixed between batches.

Processing

Add it to the water phase or the cooled emulsion below 40 °C and stir until uniform. Keep the finished pH between about 4.5 and 6.5. Avoid strong oxidizers and prolonged heat.
