How we scored it

Tripeptide of tyrosine and valine residues, both fermentation-derived amino acids; peptide bonds lose only water.
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 from fermentation-derived tyrosine and valine via peptide coupling. No petrochemical fragment is present.

In plain English

A lab-assembled chain of three amino acids, including tyrosine and valine, used as a skin-conditioning ingredient. The amino acids are fermentation-derived but joined together synthetically.

CosIng definition: Tripeptide-2 is a synthetic peptide containing tryrosine and valine residues
