Frequently asked questions

Is acetyl sh-pentapeptide-35 safe for baby skin?
No infant-specific reproductive or dermal toxicity data found. Mechanistic concerns are absent, but infant skin has higher permeability: while adult topical absorption of a large acetylated pentapeptide is expected to be negligible, a conservative small increase in exposure (e=1) is applied for 0–3 yr due to immature barrier function (sources: general peptide properties in PubChem/CosIng, lack of toxicology studies in PubMed/ECHA).
Is acetyl sh-pentapeptide-35 safe for newborns?
