Ac-Gln-Asp-Val-His (Dermican) · CAS 928006-50-2
Acetyl Tetrapeptide-9 is a highly functional peptide raw material designed for incorporation into advanced cosmetic formulations. While its specific mechanism of action and comprehensive cosmetic positioning are elaborated in Formulate Labs’ detailed evidence brief, this ingredient is primarily suited for leave-on skin care applications.
Formulate Labs offers Acetyl Tetrapeptide-9 in a ready-to-use 0.1% standard glycerin suspension, providing formulators with an easy-to-integrate and consistently potent ingredient for their innovative product development.
Hair & scalp note: while AT-9 is a powerhouse in skin care, its footprint in hair care is negligible. Peptides like Acetyl Tetrapeptide-3 target the ECM around the hair bulb for follicle anchoring; AT-9’s lumican / dermal Collagen I focus is not marketed for that pathway. You will not find it in growth-positioned hair formulas unless a brand is label-dusting a peptide blend — for active hair growth or structural hair repair, copper peptides or keratin-mimicking oligopeptides provide the actual clinical utility.*
These attributes are assessments based on the ingredient deck and the supplier information available to us. They are not third-party certifications (no Kosher, Halal, Vegan, or similar certifying body has audited or issued a certificate for this material). If your finished product requires a specific certified status, please reach out and we’ll walk through what we can document.
Every lot is produced to order in our AI-powered robotic factory. Nothing sits on a warehouse shelf going stale - you get a date-of-manufacture-fresh batch every time.
Formulate Labs supplies Acetyl Tetrapeptide-9 only and does not sell supplier trade-name SKUs such as Dermican.
Acetyl Tetrapeptide-9 (Dermican) is a synthetic signaling peptide positioned on lumican stimulation and Collagen I synthesis — the dual pathway behind ECM redensifying and firming claims in premium anti-aging and body-care literature. These are independent, third-party papers we link for formulators evaluating mechanism, tolerability, and published panel data. We did not conduct this research and do not guarantee replication in your finished formula.

This is the per-ingredient composition of the suspension as it ships. Updates dynamically when you change the base, strength, or preservation system above. The peptide line shows the AT-9 loading; the preservative line shows the supplier-blend percentage with its sub-ingredients nested below.
SDS + TDS are issued per recipe (each base / preservative combination has its own regulatory paperwork). The links below swap when you change your selection above. COA is batch-specific and ships with the order.
