Dipeptide 6 Powder

Two amino acids, sold dry

Dipeptide-6 is about as short as a peptide gets: two amino acids joined together. Short biomimetic peptides like this are used in leave-on serums with a skin-support and synthesis-support story, and they are easy to handle because they dissolve readily in water. This page is the powder. The published INCI is Dipeptide-6 and the CAS is 18684-24-7. Appearance is confirmed on the CoA for each lot.

No liquid twin on our shelf

There is no Dipeptide-6 solution on our peptide solution list, so this powder is the only form we carry. Watch the name: Dipeptide-2, the Hesperidin Methyl Chalcone + Dipeptide-2 + Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7-class eye peptide on the solution list, is a different sequence with a different story. If you want a short peptide with a longer track record in eye care, that page or Hesperidin Methyl Chalcone + Dipeptide-2 + Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7 Eye Complex is the place to look. Other dry peptides are 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 clear before you add it.

Compatibility

Keep it away from strong oxidizers and from high-ionic-strength systems, such as products very rich in salts. Mild, water-rich bases suit it best.

Level

Take the use level from the supplier documentation for your lot.

Product types that suit it

Firming-look serums, face creams, eye gels and multi-peptide boosters. Because it dissolves easily, it is also a practical choice for small-batch serums made without heating.

Pairing ideas

Matrikine peptides, sodium hyaluronate, glycerin and panthenol. Add each active separately and check clarity, odor and viscosity after each addition instead of premixing several actives in one beaker.

Example booster serum architecture

Amounts come from the CoA, so no gram recipe is shown.

Claims

Describe skin that looks firmer, smoother and more supported 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.

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.
