Cosmetic Peptides & Bioactive Actives

Cosmetic peptides — easy to get wrong, easy to get right

Cosmetic peptides are one of the fastest-growing ingredient categories in skincare formulation — and one of the easiest to get wrong on sourcing. We connect brands and formulators with verified Chinese manufacturers producing pharmaceutical-grade actives to documented, auditable standards.

Anti-ageing & signal peptides

  • Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1 / Palmitoyl Tripeptide-3
  • Palmitoyl Pentapeptide-4
  • Acetyl Hexapeptide-8
  • 98%+ lyophilised powder, batch-tested

Repair & regeneration actives

  • Copper Tripeptide-1 (GHK-Cu) — 99% HPLC purity, available as blue raw powder or pre-diluted 1% aqueous / HA solution
  • Oligopeptide-1 and Oligopeptide-2 (growth factor analogues for repair formulations)

Brightening & antioxidant actives

  • Oligopeptide-6, Nonapeptide-1 (melanin modulation)
  • Carnosine (anti-glycation)
  • L-Glutathione, reduced (GSH)
  • Hydrolysed silk peptides

Supplied for cosmetic formulation use

All actives are supplied for cosmetic formulation use — supported with documentation for that use case, not positioned or supplied for any other application.

Manufacturing & quality standards

  • ISO 9001 and ISO 22716 (Cosmetic GMP)
  • In-house analytical capability: HPLC, LC-MS, amino acid analysis, NMR
  • Microbial testing to USP <61> / <62> standards

What every batch ships with (Certificate of Analysis)

  • Purity (HPLC, area-% corrected)
  • Identity confirmation (MS molecular weight, ±0.2 Da)
  • Moisture content (Karl Fischer)
  • Residual solvents (per ICH Q3C)
  • Heavy metals (Pb, As, Cd, Hg)
  • pH and appearance

Additional documentation & export support

We also provide MSDS documentation and support HS-code classification for export.

How we de-risk sourcing

  • Vendor vetting — GMP and ISO certification confirmed against the actual production line, not just paperwork on file
  • Independent lab verification available on request, before you commit to a production run
  • Full batch traceability from raw amino acid input through synthesis, purification, and shipment
  • Cold-chain logistics where storage-sensitive — insulated packaging with data loggers on request

Order sizes & lead times

  • Formulation R&D quantities available for testing before you commit to production volume
  • Standard SKUs: 2–4 weeks
  • Custom peptide sequences or modifications (available on request): 4–8 weeks lead time

Who this is for

Cosmetic brands, contract manufacturers, and formulation chemists sourcing bioactive ingredients for skincare and personal care products who need verified purity, documented compliance, and a supplier who has actually been on-site.
