Science
Mechanism of Action
Hexapeptide-29 is a precisely engineered synthetic peptide composed of glutamic acid, glycine, isoleucine, lysine, and methionine. Its known mechanism of action involves interacting with the skin to modify its surface characteristics, thereby acting as a conditioning agent.

Stability
Specific stability information for Hexapeptide-29 is limited. Generally, peptides can be vulnerable to degradation via proteolysis. Exposure to elevated temperatures, strong acidic conditions, and oxygen can compromise their structural integrity and efficacy.
Safety
Safety Profile
The Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) has not specifically reviewed Hexapeptide-29. However, other hexapeptides like Acetyl Hexapeptide-8 have been deemed safe up to 0.005% and Hexapeptide-12 safe at concentrations below 10 ppm by CIR. No specific safety assessments from SCCS or FDA for Hexapeptide-29 were identified.
