Hi All
Can anyone with experience with this Peptide give a little advice as to concentration for use? I’ve read a lot about this Peptide and I’d like to trial it in a cream (for own use) to aid minor wound healing. My quandry is…not being brilliant at Math, I’m a bit confused about the concentration rates I read on labels of cosmetic products containing it. I’ve read its recommended at 2%, and from 2 - 100PPM. Granted these are mostly anti-aging products and I’m not really sure its a great thing for that purpose, but I do think it has some benefit in the wound healing process used in the right amount.
I can buy the Peptide in very small quantity but its not pre diluted (from a research lab supplier). So if I’m to make my own dilution to drop in a simple Zinc based cream, would I work on using a 2% solution or actually 2% of the concentrate? Or even try to work out 100PPM?
Sorry if this sounds a bit haphazard… I’ve been reading for days on end now and I’m even more confused now
Thanks

Pretty huge difference between the concentrations given there. as 100ppm is equal to 0.001% w/w. I’m quite sure 2.0% will be way too much of a poly peptide like this and WAY too expensive as well. If you are unsure, split the difference and go with 0.10%.depending of course on the actual activity of the material you are buying.

Thanks chemicalmatt. Yes absolutely there is a huge range - why I’m confused. I did read a study where the peptide was used with water/glycine/lysine as dilutent at up to 10%, then this was added at a percentage to a formulation. I know this substance can be detrimental if over used so I want to be careful. I’ll keep researching, will keep your 0.1% suggeston in mind though and see if this is around a good figure.
Thank you for your advice
