FunctionPeptide

What it is — Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7 (INCI: Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7) is a synthetic peptide joined to a fatty acid, used as a signal-type conditioning ingredient.

What it does — It is used in formulas positioned around the look of firmness and a smoother, more even-looking surface. Results are cosmetic and gradual rather than medical.

Typical use — It appears in serums, essences, creams and eye products, usually at low levels within a peptide blend and often paired with other peptides.

Who it suits / good to know — Generally low-irritation and suitable for most skin types. Peptides are supporting actives best judged over weeks of consistent use.

Safety — DHALIORA grades it low risk: a cosmetic peptide with no notable irritation history at use levels. This reflects the ingredient in general and is not medical advice; patch-test if your skin is easily irritated.

Why we grade it Low: Low risk - cosmetic peptide with no notable irritation history at use levels.
