Stability
Peptide stability, including DIPEPTIDE-18, is typically influenced by pH. While dissolution is often optimal in a near-neutral pH range (6-8), specific degradation pathways such as acid-catalyzed hydrolysis (pH 1-3), peptide backbone hydrolysis (pH 5-6), and base-catalyzed epimerization (pH > 7) can occur. Optimal storage for peptide solutions is frequently cited around pH 5-6 to mitigate degradation.
Safety
Safety Profile
DIPEPTIDE-18 has not been individually reviewed for safety by the Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) Expert Panel. While general safety assessments exist for various plant- or tissue-derived proteins and peptides, concluding them safe under current use practices, this conclusion does not specifically pertain to DIPEPTIDE-18.
