Oligopeptide-78 Powder

A synthetic oligopeptide with a short paper trail

Oligopeptide-78 is one of the newer synthetic peptides in our range, and its public documentation is thinner than for the classic names. That is why this page says only what we can stand behind. It is a synthetic cosmetic peptide powder for leave-on products. The US catalog INCI is Oligopeptide-78. CAS is N/A, because no number has been verified for this grade. Appearance is confirmed on the CoA for each lot, and any supplier positioning should be checked against the documents that come with your lot.

Not the same as other oligopeptides

The number matters. Oligopeptide-34, Oligopeptide-76 and Oligopeptide-10 are separate sequences with separate SKUs, and none of them can stand in for this one on a label. There is no Oligopeptide-78 solution on our solution list, so the powder is the only form we sell. 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. Make sure the premix is fully clear before adding it.

Compatibility

Keep it away from strong oxidizers and high-ionic-strength systems. A mild, water-rich base is the safest home.

Level

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

Product types that suit it

Leave-on serums, essences, gel creams and light moisturizers. Because the public data is limited, start with a simple base so that any stability change is easy to trace.

Pairing ideas

Sodium hyaluronate, glycerin, panthenol and a gentle preservative system. Add each active separately and check clarity, odor and viscosity after each addition instead of premixing several actives in one beaker.

Example serum architecture

The level comes from the CoA, so no gram recipe is shown.

Claims

Keep claims general and cosmetic, such as skin that looks smoother and more even, and back them with a test on the finished product. 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, 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.
