Stability

Peptides generally exhibit stability within a pH range of 5.0 to 9.0, with optimal stability often observed between pH 6.0 and 8.0. Achieving optimal pH and utilizing appropriate buffer systems are crucial for maintaining peptide integrity in aqueous formulations. Both highly acidic and highly basic conditions can lead to peptide degradation.

Safety

Safety Profile

CIR Status
Not reviewed
Sensitization risk Moderate

The Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) Expert Panel has not conducted a specific safety review for Octapeptide-20 Amide. While generally considered non-irritating, there is a potential for irritation, which may increase when combined with other potentially problematic ingredients. For comparison, a related peptide, Acetyl Hexapeptide-8 Amide, was deemed safe by CIR up to 0.005%, but data was insufficient for higher concentrations.
