Is Decapeptide-8 natural?

Yes. All seven amino acids are fermentation/hydrolysate products; synthesis chemistry adds no non-natural mass.

INCI nameDecapeptide-8
FunctionSkin Conditioning
FeedstockMade via solid-phase synthesis from fermentation-derived amino acids.…

How we scored it

Peptide from natural amino acids (Arg, Asp, Cys, Glu, Leu, Met, Tyr); reagents leave no mass. 1.0.
What counts. ISO 16128-2 scores the atoms that remain in the final ingredient. Reagents, solvents, catalysts and protecting groups used during manufacture leave no mass behind and are not counted.

Where it comes from

Made via solid-phase synthesis from fermentation-derived amino acids. No alternate route changes this.

In plain English

A synthetic chain of natural amino acids used as a skin-conditioning ingredient. Though assembled in a lab, all its building blocks are fermentation-derived amino acids.

CosIng definition: Decapeptide-8 is a synthetic peptide consisting of arginine, aspartic acid, cysteine, glutamic acid, leucine, methionine, and tyrosine
