Oligopeptide-2

Oligopeptide-2 in brief

Oligopeptide-2 is a cosmetic oligopeptide solution often supplied in the sh-Oligopeptide-2 class, the peptide family marketed under IGF-style trade names. This listing is a water-soluble liquid for revitalizing leave-on skin care. CAS 67763-96-6 applies when the lot is the registry associated with that class; confirm identity on the CoA, which may list the INCI as Oligopeptide-2 or sh-Oligopeptide-2.

How it differs from related listings

The catalog carries the same class as a powder, IGF (Rh-Oligopeptide) Powder, which is a separate product with its own documents. Oligopeptide-1 and the EGF listings are different peptides. None of these is interchangeable at the same percentage.

Keep the claims cosmetic

Peptides sold under IGF-style names attract strong marketing language. On a cosmetic label, keep claims to how the skin looks and feels: smoother, firmer-looking, revitalized-looking skin.

Formulating with Oligopeptide-2

Process

Add the solution in the water phase during cool-down, below 40 °C, and mix gently. Larger peptides can be sensitive to heat and shear, so add it last.

Bases

Serums, ampoules and essences are typical. Keep the base simple and near-neutral, and validate the preservative for the full formula. Take the use level from the supplier documentation for your lot.

Example: revitalizing ampoule architecture

Water, glycerin, a light humectant such as hyaluronic acid, Oligopeptide-2 and a second peptide, with a validated preservative. Exact levels come from the supplier documentation. Single-use or airless packaging protects a premium ampoule.

Qualifying the lot

Request the CoA and safety data sheet, check appearance and pH on arrival, and run stability in the final packaging at room temperature and 40 °C, watching for haze or precipitate.

Storage

Keep tightly closed, cool and away from light, and refrigerate opened material where practical.

Building a premium peptide range

IGF-style peptides are usually positioned at the top of a range: a concentrated ampoule or serum, used alongside a simpler daily moisturizer. Oligopeptide-2 can anchor the premium product, while the daily cream carries humectants and a short signal peptide. Keep each product's claims tied to its own ingredients.

Packaging for sensitive peptides

Airless pumps, single-dose ampoules and opaque packaging protect larger peptides from air and light. Keep the headspace low and avoid storing finished products in hot places such as cars or sunny windows.

Ordering

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. Compare all peptide solutions.
