Is Oligopeptide-14 natural?

Yes. Assembled from standard fermentation/hydrolysate-derived amino acids via peptide synthesis; backbone atoms are all amino-acid derived.

INCI nameOligopeptide-14
FunctionSkin Protecting
FeedstockChemically synthesized from the listed L-amino acids (fermentation-derived)…

How we scored it

17 natural amino acids joined by peptide bonds; coupling reagents leave no mass in the product — 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

Chemically synthesized from the listed L-amino acids (fermentation-derived) using standard peptide-coupling chemistry. No alternative route is significant.

In plain English

A lab-made chain of 17 amino acids designed to help protect the skin, used in protective and anti-aging skincare formulas.

CosIng definition: Oligopeptide-14 is a synthetic 17 amino acid peptide consisting of alanine, asparagine, glutamine, glycine, isoleucine, leucine, lysine and valine
