Skin & Cosmetic
Skin & Cosmetic is the home for peptides used in dermatological and cosmetic-science research rather than systemic study. The category is led by Snap-8 10mg, an acetyl octapeptide supplied as a lyophilised powder. Two copper complexes commonly used in the same benchwork sit one category over: GHK-Cu and AHK-Cu, both stocked in single vials, and GHK-Cu also appears inside the Glow Blend 70mg and its capsule version.
Material is manufactured to GMP standards in the United States, tested at 99%+ purity by HPLC, identity-confirmed by mass spectrometry, and screened for endotoxins and heavy metals lot by lot. Each batch has its own Certificate of Analysis in our testing library. Research use only, and not intended for human or animal application.

SNAP-8 is generally identified in cosmetic ingredient terminology as acetyl octapeptide-3.The name reflects its structure: “acetyl” refers to the attached acetyl group, while “octapeptide” indicates that the peptide contains eight amino acids. It is sometimes described in consumer products as an “acetyl hexapeptide serum,” but this terminology can lead to confusion with Argireline, which is commonly associated with acetyl hexapeptide-8 and, in some older ingredient references, acetyl hexapeptide-3. Although SNAP-8 and Argireline are both cosmetic peptides often discussed for their wrinkle-related applications, they are different ingredients and should not be considered interchangeable.
