The peptide

Palmitoyl Dipeptide-5 Diaminohydroxybutyrate: Precision Peptide for Dermal-Epidermal Junction Revitalization

Palmitoyl Dipeptide-5 Diaminohydroxybutyrate is an amphiphilic signal peptide expertly engineered to penetrate the stratum corneum and specifically target the dermal-epidermal junction (DEJ). This molecule works by signaling fibroblasts to boost the synthesis of crucial structural DEJ proteins, including Laminin V, Integrin β4, and Collagens IV, VII, and XVII. This comprehensive stimulation directly counteracts the age-related flattening of the DEJ, thereby improving intercellular communication and nutrient exchange within the skin. Clinically, this mechanism supports its role as a powerful active for enhancing cutaneous compactness, restoring elasticity, and significantly reducing the appearance of deep expression lines.

Market context: Competitors often market Palmitoyl Dipeptide-5 Diaminohydroxybutyrate combined with Palmitoyl Dipeptide-5 Diaminobutyroyl Hydroxythreonine under proprietary trade names such as SYN®-TACKS, positioning them as premium actives for mature skin and DEJ-rebuilding. Commercial formulators leverage this ingredient's clinical claims for high-end anti-aging serums and barrier repair treatments, focusing on cellular cohesion, wrinkle reduction, and structural dermal support. Formulate Labs strictly supplies the unbranded INCI raw material, ensuring B2B formulators access the active Palmitoyl Dipeptide-5 Diaminohydroxybutyrate chemistry directly, independent of specific competitor trade-name SKUs or proprietary supplier blends.

Formulate Labs offers Palmitoyl Dipeptide-5 Diaminohydroxybutyrate as a stable, ready-to-use 0.1% glycerin suspension, providing formulators with a cost-effective and convenient way to incorporate this powerful peptide into their advanced cosmetic formulations. While the pure active peptide is functional at parts-per-million (ppm) levels, our standardized suspension simplifies integration, allowing for precise dosing and consistent performance across a range of high-performance skincare applications.

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 Matrixyl synthe’6-fragment reference of 0.001% or our 10X lab concentrate at 0.01%.

Why formulators reach for it

A peptide with a long cosmetic-science track record.

Palmitoyl Dipeptide-5 Diaminohydroxybutyrate Fortifies the DEJ
Targets the dermal-epidermal junction to enhance the synthesis of essential structural proteins, rebuilding skin's foundational architecture.
Palmitoyl Dipeptide-5 Diaminohydroxybutyrate Improves Skin Elasticity
Stimulates key collagen and elastin precursors, restoring skin's bounce and resilience for a more youthful feel.
Palmitoyl Dipeptide-5 Diaminohydroxybutyrate Reduces Deep Wrinkles
Minimizes the appearance of deep expression lines by improving cutaneous compactness and structural dermal support.
Palmitoyl Dipeptide-5 Diaminohydroxybutyrate Enhances Cellular Cohesion

The INCI name Palmitoyl Dipeptide-5 Diaminohydroxybutyrate refers to the pure chemical active ingredient; trade names such as Matrixyl synthe'6 fragment refer to supplier-branded actives that Formulate Labs does not sell or represent.

Published research

Peer-reviewed literature for due diligence.

Palmitoyl Dipeptide-5 Diaminohydroxybutyrate is a Matrixyl synthe'6 co-active lipopeptide fragment with published multi-matrix matrikine clinical and safety 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.

Compliance & safety

The fine print, in plain English.

What it’s for
Cosmetic raw material - leave-on hair-care formulations (scalp serums, hair tonics, leave-on hair lotions, density-positioned conditioning treatments) at the use rates above; also acceptable in rinse-off cosmetic products and skincare formats where a peptide-based "supports the look of fuller hair" / scalp-comfort positioning is intended. 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, softens the look of fine lines). Avoid ECM drug language (“rebuilds collagen”, “restores hyaluronic acid medically”). Do not make therapeutic claims. The peptide is studied in cosmetic in-vitro and panel work; 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 Diaminohydroxybutyrate (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 Diaminohydroxybutyrate 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.
