How we scored it
12-residue synthetic peptide from aspartic acid, glutamine, leucine, lysine, methionine, phenylalanine, threonine, valine; amino acids natural, 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 synthesised from standard amino acids obtainable via fermentation or protein hydrolysis. No petrochemical route for the final peptide.
In plain English
A lab-made peptide built from natural amino acids, used to condition skin.
CosIng definition: Oligopeptide-67 is the synthetic peptide containing 12 amino acids consisting of aspartic acid, glutamine, leucine, lysine, methionine, phenylalanine, threonine and valine
