Safety

Safety Profile

CIR Status
Safe as used
Sensitization risk Low

The Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) Expert Panel assessed 'Palmitoyl Oligopeptides' as a group in 2012, concluding their safety for cosmetic use. Palmitoyl Oligopeptide-70 is part of this group, composed of alanine, cysteine, glycine, histidine, lysine, proline, and serine reacted with palmitic acid. While specific irritation and sensitization studies for Palmitoyl Oligopeptide-70 were not identified in published literature, a randomized clinical study on a related peptide, palmitoyl pentapeptide, reported an absence of skin irritation. The FDA's Voluntary Cosmetic Registration Program (VCRP) confirms its use in cosmetic products.
