SH-Decapeptide-9

What SH-Decapeptide-9 is

SH-Decapeptide-9 is a commercial solution of a ten-amino-acid peptide listed in INCI as sh-Decapeptide-9. The "sh" prefix in INCI marks a synthetic human-identical sequence, a naming convention used for peptides modeled on sequences found in human proteins. This listing is a water-compatible liquid for leave-on skin care. The CAS was not verified in open registries during our review, so it is shown as N/A.

Keep the claims cosmetic

Peptides with "sh" or "rh" names are often marketed with strong biotech language. On a cosmetic label, that language needs care. Keep claims to the look and feel of the skin: smoother-looking, more even, revitalized-looking skin.

How it differs from related listings

The EGF solution is sh-Oligopeptide-1, a different INCI. Peptide Decapeptide 25 Powder is another ten-amino-acid peptide but with a different sequence and form. None of these is interchangeable at the same percentage.

Formulating with SH-Decapeptide-9

Process

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

Bases

Serums, essences, ampoules and light gel-creams are typical. Keep the finished pH within the range recommended in the supplier documentation and validate the preservative for the full formula.

Pairing ideas

A revitalizing serum might combine SH-Decapeptide-9 with hyaluronic acid and a short signal peptide, each added separately in cool-down. Simple, near-neutral bases give larger peptides the best chance of staying stable.

Stability and storage

Run stability at room temperature and 40 °C in the final packaging, checking appearance and pH. Store tightly closed, cool and away from light, and refrigerate opened material where practical. Keep the CoA with your batch records.

Qualifying an sh-peptide

Request the CoA, safety data sheet and full INCI before launch. On arrival, compare appearance and pH with the CoA. Run a compatibility check in your base and a stability study in the final packaging. Because larger peptides can be sensitive, test at room temperature and 40 °C and check appearance carefully for haze or precipitate.

Packaging

Airless pumps and single-use ampoules limit air and contamination exposure, which suits premium sh-peptide products.

Labeling

Use the INCI exactly as the CoA states it. Trade or descriptive names can appear in marketing only if they stay within cosmetic claims.
