How we scored it
Peptide built from glycine, serine, tryptophan and valine; amino-acid building blocks are natural origin, so 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
Manufactured by solid-phase synthesis from amino acids that are themselves fermentation or protein-hydrolysate products. The synthesis route does not change this.
In plain English
A lab-made peptide built from four natural amino acids, used in skincare to help condition and support the skin.
CosIng definition: Pentapeptide-47 is the synthetic peptide consisting of glycine, serine, tryptophan and valine
