Frequently asked questions

Is oligopeptide-1 safe for baby skin?
Hazard/mechanism: no infant-specific reproductive or developmental hazards identified (ECHA, PubMed). Exposure: because infants (0–3 yr) have an immature skin barrier and higher surface‑area‑to‑weight, dermal exposure is increased relative to adults; although oligopeptide-1 is a large peptide with low intrinsic dermal penetration, exposure scoring is increased by +1 for baby skin as per instruction (CosIng, PubChem).
Is oligopeptide-1 safe for newborns?
