SUCCINOYL ASCORBATE PENTAPEPTIDE-6.

Insufficient Data CAS - / ANTIOXIDANT, BLEACHING, SKIN CONDITIONING, SKIN PROTECTING

SUCCINOYL ASCORBATE PENTAPEPTIDE-6 is a sophisticated conjugate blending L-ascorbic acid with a pentapeptide through a succinoyl linker. This innovative design aims to enhance stability and facilitate the targeted delivery of its active components directly into skin cells. The ingredient is theorized to offer a range of benefits, including anti-aging, skin brightening, and support for wound healing processes.

anti-aging antioxidant collagen boosting skin brightening wound healing

Science

Mechanism of Action

This ingredient is hypothesized to function by delivering both L-ascorbic acid and the pentapeptide synergistically to cutaneous cells. The succinoyl linker, being labile to esterase enzymes, is believed to precisely release these active components upon absorption. Once liberated, these compounds are thought to collectively stimulate collagen biosynthesis, provide robust antioxidant protection, and inhibit melanin synthesis, contributing to comprehensive skin rejuvenation.

Stability

This conjugated form of L-ascorbic acid demonstrates superior aqueous stability compared to pure L-ascorbic acid, which is typically most stable below pH 3.5. SUCCINOYL ASCORBATE PENTAPEPTIDE-6 performs optimally within a slightly acidic pH range of 6.0 to 7.0. Its stability can be compromised by the presence of metal ions and excessively high pH environments.

Safety Profile

CIR Status
Not reviewed
Sensitization risk Unknown

While the Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) Expert Panel has deemed L-ascorbic acid, its salts, and various peptides safe for cosmetic applications, SUCCINOYL ASCORBATE PENTAPEPTIDE-6 itself has not undergone a specific safety review by the CIR or the Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety (SCCS). The FDA has not issued a specific cosmetic status for this compound, although L-ascorbic acid and its salts are recognized as GRAS for certain food-related uses.
