The peptide

Dipeptide Diaminobutyroyl Benzylamide Diacetate: Biomimetic Peptide for Expression Line Smoothing

Dipeptide Diaminobutyroyl Benzylamide Diacetate is a synthetic biomimetic tripeptide engineered to replicate the localized neuromuscular blocking effects of Waglerin-1, a neurotoxin found in temple viper venom. Positioned as a topical, non-invasive alternative to injectable neuromodulators, it functions as a reversible antagonist at the muscular nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (mnAChR). By temporarily blocking acetylcholine binding at the postsynaptic membrane, this peptide prevents sodium ion uptake, thereby keeping facial muscles relaxed and visibly smoothing dynamic expression lines without causing systemic paralysis or loss of facial mobility. Its primary application category is cosmetic leave-on skin care.

Market context: Competitive marketing for actives like Dipeptide Diaminobutyroyl Benzylamide Diacetate often leverages the “snake venom” biomimicry narrative, positioning them as fast-acting, topical alternatives to injectables for expression lines. Formulate Labs strictly supplies the INCI active, Dipeptide Diaminobutyroyl Benzylamide Diacetate, and does not sell supplier-branded SKUs such as SYN-AKE. Competitor campaigns frequently target both mature and millennial demographics, emphasizing an 'age-freezing' effect that helps prevent mimic wrinkles from setting into permanent static lines. Commercial positioning also highlights the synthetic peptide's safety, vegan-friendly origins, and fully reversible muscle relaxation, distinctly separating its efficacy from the actual toxicity of snake venom.

Formulate Labs offers Dipeptide Diaminobutyroyl Benzylamide Diacetate as a 0.1% standard or 1% lab concentrate, expertly suspended in either a Glycerin/Water base or our highly compatible Sea Kelp Bioferment. These suspensions are available in convenient 100 g, 1 kg, and 18 kg pack sizes, providing flexibility for various production scales. The peptide exhibits excellent water and glycol solubility, making it easy to integrate into a wide range of cosmetic formulations.

Hair-care note: like all neuromodulating peptides, SYN-AKE has no practical hair application — follicles do not rely on muscular contraction for anagen, proliferation, or anchoring, so scalp serums and follicle treatments gain zero physiological benefit.*

Trade names such as SYN-AKE refer to supplier-branded actives; Formulate Labs supplies Dipeptide Diaminobutyroyl Benzylamide Diacetate only — we do not sell or represent SYN-AKE.

Published research

Peer-reviewed literature for due diligence.

Dipeptide Diaminobutyroyl Benzylamide Diacetate is a well-researched peptide, particularly for its biomimetic properties inspired by neurotoxins found in snake venom. While often compared to actives found in SYN-AKE-class products, Formulate Labs supplies Dipeptide Diaminobutyroyl Benzylamide Diacetate only and does not represent or sell SYN-AKE. The following studies highlight its mechanism of action and efficacy in cosmetic applications. 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.

Compliance & safety

The fine print, in plain English.

What it’s for
Cosmetic raw material for leave-on skincare only — Botox-mimetic creams and targeted anti-wrinkle serums for forehead, glabellar, and periorbital expression lines where post-synaptic neuromodulation is intended. Not for hair or scalp products — zero physiological benefit to follicles. Not a finished consumer product; not for ingestion, injection, or unsupervised topical use outside a formulated finished product.
Claims guidance
Cosmetic structure / function language only (e.g. softens the look of expression lines, supports a smoother-looking finish around dynamic wrinkles). Avoid Botox-drug language (“botox alternative,” “paralyzes muscles,” “snake venom treatment,” “injection equivalent”). Do not position in hair care — scalp serums, shampoos, and follicle treatments have zero physiological target. Distinguish from Argireline — SYN-AKE is post-synaptic; Argireline is pre-synaptic. Downstream finished-product claims must be substantiated by the brand.
Storage
  • Store between 2-25 °C in original sealed container away from direct light.
  • Cold storage extends shelf life by ~50% relative to room temperature.
  • Once opened, use within the period stated on the COA.
Regulatory
  • INCI: Dipeptide Diaminobutyroyl Benzylamide Diacetate (per ICID and PCPC dictionary).
  • Not classified as hazardous based on currently available information per OSHA HazCom 2012 / GHS.
  • Compatible with FDA cosmetic regulations and EU 1223/2009 for the intended use.
  • SDS section 16 disclaimer applies; see the per-recipe SDS for the full classification.
Sensitivity
Dipeptide Diaminobutyroyl Benzylamide Diacetate is generally well-tolerated in cosmetic use at the rates above; the supplier’s HET-CAM and AMES studies on the peptide indicate non-irritating and non-mutagenic behavior at industry-standard concentrations. The peptide is light-sensitive: store and ship in opaque containers, and avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight in finished formulations. Avoid prolonged contact with strong oxidisers, sustained heat above 45 °C, high shear after incorporation, and finished-formula pH outside 3.0–5.5 — any of these can hydrolyze the peptide and reduce in-formula activity. Patch-test finished formulations per standard cosmetic protocol.
