The peptide

Palmitoyl Dipeptide-5 Diaminobutyroyl Hydroxythreonine: Reinforcing the Dermal-Epidermal Junction

Palmitoyl Dipeptide-5 Diaminobutyroyl Hydroxythreonine is a highly specialized synthetic signal peptide engineered specifically to target and reinforce the dermal-epidermal junction. By mimicking endogenous cellular communication pathways, it directly stimulates the biosynthesis of critical hemidesmosomal structural proteins, specifically Laminin V, Integrin β4, and Collagens IV, VII, and XVII. In cosmetic science positioning, this broad-spectrum stimulation restructures skin anisotropy, thereby enhancing structural integrity, elasticity, and firmness while visibly reducing the depth of fine lines and wrinkles.

Market context: Palmitoyl Dipeptide-5 Diaminobutyroyl Hydroxythreonine is a key active ingredient associated with competitive offerings such as DSM-Firmenich’s SYN-TACKS®, which is marketed as a dual-peptide blend focused on maximizing dermal-epidermal junction functionality. Formulate Labs supplies the standardized INCI Palmitoyl Dipeptide-5 Diaminobutyroyl Hydroxythreonine only; we do not sell or distribute these specific competitor trade-name SKUs.

Formulate Labs offers Palmitoyl Dipeptide-5 Diaminobutyroyl Hydroxythreonine as a high-purity, standardized active ingredient. Our typical offering is supplied as a 0.1% standard glycerin suspension, designed for seamless integration into various cosmetic formulations. This ensures stability, ease of handling, and consistent performance across diverse product applications.

Hair & scalp note: the hair follicle basement membrane zone (BMZ) is structurally identical to skin DEJ — relying on the same Laminin V, Collagen IV, and Collagen VII anchors. Formulators use this peptide in anti-shedding and follicle-fortification serums to strengthen hair-bulb anchoring against mechanical stress — a legitimate hair-care application, not generic density boilerplate.*

Published research

Peer-reviewed literature for due diligence.

Palmitoyl Dipeptide-5 Diaminobutyroyl Hydroxythreonine is the core DEJ-anchoring lipopeptide in DSM-Firmenich SYN-TACKS and SYN-TC — stimulating Laminin V, Collagen IV/VII, Collagen XVII, and Integrin beta-4 biosynthesis to restore dermal-epidermal junction integrity (DSM-Firmenich, 2010; Bataille et al., 2020). 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 and rinse-off skincare where DEJ firming, redensifying, or anti-sagging positioning is intended (serums, neck creams, eye treatments). Also for hair-care leave-on anti-shedding and follicle-fortification scalp serums where BMZ anchoring is the intended mechanism — not generic hair-density marketing. 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. supports a firmer-looking finish, supports the appearance of lifted skin along the jawline, helps maintain the look of anchored hair). Avoid DEJ drug language (“rebuilds basement membrane,” “treats telogen effluvium,” “medical anti-sagging”). Do not position as Matrixyl synthe’6 or Thymulen 4 — trade reference is SYN-TACKS / SYN-TC (DSM-Firmenich). 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: Palmitoyl Dipeptide-5 Diaminobutyroyl Hydroxythreonine (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
Palmitoyl Dipeptide-5 Diaminobutyroyl Hydroxythreonine 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, sulfuric or phosphoric acids, acetic anhydride, sustained heat above 45 °C, and prolonged exposure to pH > 7.0 - any of these can hydrolyze the peptide and reduce in-formula activity. Patch-test finished formulations per standard cosmetic protocol.
