Safety Profile
The Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) Expert Panel has categorized data for Palmitoyl Heptapeptide-5 as insufficient for establishing safety. While it was part of a larger 2012/2013 review of Palmitoyl Oligopeptides, specific irritation or sensitization studies for this exact peptide were not found in the published literature. For the broader group of Palmitoyl Oligopeptides, collective use concentrations were reported up to 0.9% in leave-on products and 0.06% in rinse-off formulations.
