Formulation Tip
Oligopeptide-68 combines exceptionally well with Niacinamide, Alpha Arbutin, Tranexamic Acid, Hyaluronic Acid, Panthenol and Ceramides to create advanced cosmetic formulations designed to improve the appearance of uneven skin tone and promote a brighter, more radiant-looking complexion.
Storage
Store the unopened peptide powder in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. For long-term storage, refrigeration or freezing is recommended.
For best quality and performance, prepare only the amount of stock solution required for your formulation.
Once the peptide has been dissolved in the supplied solvent, it is recommended that the solution is used immediately in your cosmetic formulation. Reconstituted peptide solutions are more susceptible to degradation and contamination than the dry powder.
If the entire vial is reconstituted, it is recommended to use the solution promptly rather than storing it for future use.
