Vialox (Pentapeptide-3) Solution

Vialox, the original Pentapeptide-3

Vialox is the trade name of Pentapeptide-3, a five amino acid peptide first developed by Pentapharm and now part of the DSM-Firmenich personal care portfolio. This listing is the original branded raw material: a clear solution of about 1000 ppm Pentapeptide-3 in water and glycerin, INCI Aqua, Glycerin, Pentapeptide-3, with the certificate of analysis for each lot. The use level is 1.0 to 3.0% of the formula, and the smallest pack is 1 oz (30 mL).

Branded material or the IO version

If your box or marketing names Vialox, you need the original material and its documents, and this is the supplier specification to order. If the brief only asks for the INCI, the IO Pentapeptide-3 Solution carries the same peptide under our own name at a lower price. Picking the version that matches your claim file keeps audits simple.

What Pentapeptide-3 is used for

Pentapeptide-3 is a short, water-soluble peptide used in leave-on care for the look of expression lines on the forehead, between the brows, at the corners of the eyes and above the upper lip. It is colorless and has almost no odor, so it works in very light, clear products. Claims stay cosmetic, such as smoother and more relaxed looking skin.

Adding the solution

The peptide is already dissolved, so there is no weighing of dry powder. Stir it into the cool active phase below 40 °C at 1.0 to 3.0%, and keep the base mild and water-rich.

Pairing ideas

Many developers combine it with Acetyl Octapeptide-3 solution for a broader expression-line profile, or with Calmosensine when a comfort note is wanted. Other pre-dissolved peptides are collected in our peptide solutions section.
