DP-2 cosmetic peptide suspension · choose base, strength, and preservation
Dipeptide-2: A potent peptide found in anti-aging and eye-care class actives like Eyeliss™ (which Formulate Labs does not sell), expertly formulated to target under-eye puffiness, dark circles, and signs of fatigue.
Val-Trp (EYESeryl dipeptide) · CAS 245476-01-1
Dipeptide-2 (INCI: Dipeptide-2), a bioactive peptide composed of valine and tryptophan, is strategically utilized in advanced anti-aging and eye-care formulations due to its unique physiological mechanism. Functioning as a natural inhibitor of the Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme (ACE), Dipeptide-2 effectively blocks the conversion of Angiotensin I into the vasoconstricting Angiotensin II. This action prevents capillary constriction, thereby enhancing microcirculation and stimulating the skin’s lymphatic drainage network. Such localized fluid movement is crucial for flushing out stagnant interstitial edema, making Dipeptide-2 a premier active for minimizing under-eye puffiness, dark circles, and visible signs of fatigue.
Market context: While competitive offerings like Eyeliss™ leverage Dipeptide-2 within synergistic complexes, and other suppliers market pre-mixed liquid solutions, Formulate Labs champions providing the pure Dipeptide-2 INCI material. This strategy empowers formulators with cost-effective sourcing and ultimate creative flexibility, allowing for tailored formulations without being tied to proprietary blends or specific carriers that Formulate Labs does not sell.
Formulate Labs provides Dipeptide-2 as a pure, high-potency lyophilized powder, offering formulators maximum control and cost-effectiveness. For ease of integration into liquid systems, we also offer Dipeptide-2 in a standard 0.1% glycerin suspension, ensuring excellent solubility and stability for your finished product.
We supply it as a finished aqueous suspension in two carriers - a 35% glycerin / water base for maximum formulation flexibility, or dosed directly into our single-origin Sea Kelp Bioferment. Both ship at the EYESerylTM-equivalent reference of 0.01% or our 10X lab concentrate at 0.1%.
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.
Dipeptide-2 refers to the INCI (International Nomenclature of Cosmetic Ingredients) name for the pure raw material, not a branded trade-name blend.
Dipeptide-2 (EYESeryl) is a compact val-trp dipeptide cited in periorbital cosmetic literature for refreshed, less puffy-looking eye contours. 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.
