How we scored it
Where it comes from
Built from fermentation-derived amino acids via peptide synthesis. No extraction route exists at commercial scale.
In plain English
A synthetic chain of 13 amino acids used to condition skin. Its building blocks trace back to fermentation, though the finished peptide is lab-assembled.
CosIng definition: Oligopeptide-24 is the synthetic peptide containing 13 amino acids consisting of arginine, aspartic acid, cysteine, isoleucine, glutamic acid, glycine, methionine, and tyrosine
