Acetyl Hexapeptide-38

Product Overview

Acetyl Hexapeptide-38 is a specialized, highly active cosmetic peptide meticulously engineered for advanced skincare and personal care formulations. Recognized for its unique mechanism in target areas, it is widely formulated into premium lip-plumping glosses, volumizing facial serums, and body contouring creams to support a visually fuller, more youthful appearance.

Unlike diluted peptide solutions, our product is supplied as a highly concentrated, synthesized powder. This provides formulation engineers with maximum control over active concentrations, significantly reduces preservative load, and ensures exceptional stability during complex manufacturing processes.

Unique Sourcing & Formulation Advantages:

• Ultra-High Purity: Confirmed HPLC purity of ≥ 95% (typical batches yield >98%), minimizing formulation impurities.
• Factory Direct Supply: Sourced directly from the manufacturer, ensuring batch-to-batch consistency, fully traceable quality, and competitive bulk pricing.
• Optimized Moisture Control: Extremely low loss on drying (<2%), ensuring excellent powder flowability and resistance to clumping.
• Cold-Process Ready: Outstanding water solubility makes it ideal for energy-efficient cold-process manufacturing.

Key Technical Parameters (COA Highlights)

To ensure absolute transparency for your R&D and QA teams, the following table details our strict quality control standards alongside typical batch results.

Quality Control & Regulatory Compliance

Formulating with active peptides requires strict adherence to global cosmetic regulations. As an original manufacturer and bulk exporter, we prioritize uncompromised safety and analytical verification.

Every batch of our Acetyl Hexapeptide-38 powder undergoes rigorous third-party and internal laboratory testing. The molecular identity is strictly verified using ESI-MS (Electrospray Ionization Mass Spectrometry) to guarantee the exact molecular weight (700.84). We provide comprehensive documentation upon request, including complete Certificates of Analysis (COA), Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS), and manufacturing flow charts, ensuring your final cosmetic products smoothly navigate global regulatory registrations (such as EU CPNP or US MoCRA).

Formulation Guidelines & Compatibility

Acetyl Hexapeptide-38 powder is highly versatile, but to maximize its efficacy and maintain peptide integrity, specific processing guidelines should be followed.

• Solubility & Phase Integration: The powder is highly water-soluble. It should be pre-dissolved in a small amount of water or added directly to the aqueous phase of your formulation.
• Temperature Sensitivity: Like most synthetic cosmetic peptides, it is sensitive to prolonged high heat. Incorporate the dissolved peptide during the cooling phase at temperatures below 40°C (104°F) to prevent thermal degradation.
• Recommended Dosage: When starting from the pure powder (≥ 95% HPLC), the active threshold is extremely low. We recommend creating a standard 0.05% pre-solution in water. From this pre-solution, incorporate 1.0% to 2.0% into your final cosmetic base. (This equates to an ultra-trace amount of the pure powder in the final product).
• System Compatibility: Exhibits excellent compatibility with standard cosmetic emulsifiers, thickeners (like Carbomer or Xanthan Gum), and most preservative systems. It performs optimally in a formulation pH range of 5.0 to 7.0.

Storage & Stability Requirements

Sourcing peptide in powder form offers superior long-term stability compared to aqueous peptide solutions.

• Storage Conditions: Store in a tightly sealed original container, placed in a cool, dry, and dark environment. Avoid exposure to direct sunlight and high humidity. For extended long-term storage, refrigeration (2-8°C) is recommended but not mandatory for standard shipping timelines.
• Shelf Life: 24 months (2 years) from the date of manufacture when stored properly under the recommended conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions (B2B & Formulation)

Q: Do you supply Acetyl Hexapeptide-38 directly from the factory?

A: Yes, we are the original manufacturer and bulk exporter of this peptide. We supply directly from our facility, ensuring traceable sourcing, highly competitive pricing, and stable supply for both R&D trials and commercial-scale production.

Q: What is the difference between purchasing this powder and a liquid peptide solution?

A: Purchasing the ≥ 95% pure powder offers significant advantages. It allows your formulation engineers precise control over the active dosage, eliminates the need to introduce unwanted solvents or preservatives (often found in commercial peptide liquids) into your base, and vastly reduces global shipping costs due to the absence of water weight.

Q: Can this peptide be formulated into clear water-based serums?

A: Absolutely. Due to its excellent water solubility and exceptionally low impurity profile (HPLC >98%), it dissolves clearly without causing turbidity, making it perfect for transparent serums and lip glosses.

Q: What is your Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ) for cosmetic manufacturers?

A: We offer flexible MOQs tailored to support both laboratory formulation phases and full-scale manufacturing. Please contact our technical sales team for sample requests and bulk wholesale pricing.
