IO Body Contour Peptide Powder (Acetyl Hexapeptide-51 Amide)

About this ingredient

IO Body Contour Peptide Powder (Acetyl Hexapeptide-51 Amide) is a peptide powder whose INCI is Acetyl Hexapeptide-51 Amide. It is a synthetic peptide of six amino acids with an acetyl group at one end and an amide at the other, modifications that are commonly used to improve stability. A CAS number is not assigned or verified in our records, so we list it as N/A. This page sells the dry powder by the gram, and the CoA for each lot confirms purity and the recommended use level.

Properties

The powder dissolves in water and is used at low levels. Our product record places it in body care: body creams, body-contouring creams, body wraps and body-shaping mixtures. In this category, brands talk about skin that looks smoother, firmer and more toned and feels more supple. Keep claims cosmetic and focused on the look and feel of the skin, not on weight or fat.

Applications

Firming body creams, contouring gels for thighs and arms, professional body wraps used in salons, massage creams and bust and decolletage creams are typical formats. Body products cover large areas, so cost per unit matters, and a low-dose peptide powder helps here. It pairs well with caffeine products such as Caffeine and with humectants like Hydrolyzed Sodium Hyaluronate. Compare more dry actives in our peptide powders section.

How to dissolve and add it

Weigh the powder precisely and dissolve it fully in a small amount of distilled water. Add the dissolved peptide to the cooled batch below 40 °C with gentle mixing. Avoid reheating. In wraps, which are often applied warm, add the peptide only after the base has cooled and do not reheat the finished product. Follow the CoA for the use level.

Designing a body-contouring product

Body products need to spread easily, absorb quickly and leave a pleasant, non-sticky feel, because users apply them to large areas every day. Light emulsions with a fast-breaking emulsifier and a small amount of silicone or light ester work well. Cooling agents such as menthyl lactate give an instant sensation that customers associate with active body care. Pump bottles and tubes suit daily use. Professional wraps are a different format: the product is applied in a thick layer, covered with film or bandages and left for a set time. Here the peptide is added to the cooled wrap base, and the salon protocol should state the application time clearly.

Compatibility

Acetyl Hexapeptide-51 Amide is compatible with caffeine, glycerin, hyaluronic acid, panthenol, plant extracts and other peptides. It suits gels and oil-in-water emulsions. Avoid strong acids, strong bases, oxidizers and long heating. If you use warming agents in a wrap, test skin comfort carefully.

Record the lot number in your batch log so every production run can be traced back to its certificate of analysis. Retain a small sample of each lot for at least the shelf life of the finished product, since it makes later quality questions much easier to answer.
