Safety Profile
The Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) Expert Panel noted insufficient data for Palmitoyl Oligopeptide-70, tabling a draft report due to concerns over terminology and the need for more specific peptide sequence information. Specific attention was drawn to the potential for some small peptides to stimulate angiogenesis. While reported to the FDA's VCRP in 2012, a definitive 'safe as used' conclusion has not been reached.
