Is Octapeptide-7 natural?

Yes. Built entirely from natural amino acids; the chemical coupling used to assemble it leaves no mass in the product.

INCI nameOctapeptide-7
FunctionSkin Protecting
FeedstockSynthesised by linking amino acids obtained from fermentation…

How we scored it

Peptide of 6 amino acid types (Gly/Hyp/Lys/Pro/Ser/Thr); amino acids are fermentation/hydrolysate-derived, synthesis 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

Synthesised by linking amino acids obtained from fermentation or protein hydrolysis. No alternative route noted.

In plain English

A lab-made chain of eight amino acids used to protect skin. Built from the same amino acids found naturally in proteins like collagen.

CosIng definition: Octapeptide-7 is the synthetic peptide consisting of glycine, hydroxyproline, lysine, proline, serine and threonine
