How we scored it
Synthetic dipeptide of lysine and threonine, both natural-origin amino acids; fully natural.
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 by peptide synthesis from lysine and threonine, both produced by fermentation or protein hydrolysis.
In plain English
A lab-assembled two-amino-acid peptide used to condition skin, made from lysine and threonine, both naturally sourced via fermentation.
CosIng definition: Dipeptide-7 is a synthetic peptide containing lysine and threonine
Structure
(2S,3R)-2-[[(2S)-2,6-diaminohexanoyl]amino]-3-hydroxybutanoic acid
