Why peptides, why now

Your customers already search for peptides by name.

Nobody types "anti-aging cream" anymore. They type GHK-Cu, copper peptide, multi-peptide serum, and they read the percentage on the label before they read the brand. The demand is already there. What is missing on most shelves is a peptide product that is well made and honestly labeled.

That is the part we do. We start from your concept, not from a supplier catalog: we select or develop the peptide that fits it, source qualified material, keep it stable in the finished formula, and write label language that stays on the right side of the FDA.

Focus areas

Three concerns customers ask about most.

01 · Face

Lines & wrinkles

The biggest peptide category, and the one where shoppers read labels most closely.

Peptides
Palmitoyl tripeptide-1, palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7, palmitoyl pentapeptide-4, acetyl hexapeptide-8, copper tripeptide-1 (GHK-Cu), or a custom peptide for your brand
Formats
Face serum, night cream, eye cream, multi-peptide complex

“Improves the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Skin looks firmer and smoother.”

02 · Face

Blemish-prone skin

Lightweight peptide formulas, with a second route for brands that need the word acne on the box.

Cosmetic route
Skin-conditioning peptides, including copper tripeptide-1, or a custom peptide, in gels, serums and moisturizers
OTC route DRUG
Salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide under the OTC monograph, with peptides as supporting ingredients. Every label is reviewed before launch.

“Formulated for blemish-prone skin. Helps skin look calmer and more even.”

03 · Hair

Hair & scalp

A category growing fast, and one where few manufacturers have peptide formulas.

Peptides
Biotinoyl tripeptide-1, copper tripeptide-1, acetyl tetrapeptide-3, keratin and silk peptides, or a custom peptide for your brand
Formats
Scalp serum, shampoo & conditioner, leave-in spray, scalp mask

“Hair looks fuller and thicker. Conditions the scalp and helps hair resist breakage.”

04 · Skin through menopause

One serum is a product. Four is a line.

The big brands launched a single menopause serum each. We help you launch the whole regimen: face, neck, body and scalp, on one peptide platform, sold together or as a bundle.

Women describe skin in perimenopause and menopause as drier, less firm, crepey on the neck and body, duller, and quicker to feel sensitive. Many notice thinner-looking hair. Each of those is a product, and each can be described honestly without a drug claim.

Most brandsOne face serum with "menopause" on the label.
Our lineFour products, one peptide platform, one story on shelf.
PeptidesPalmitoyl pentapeptide-4, palmitoyl tripeptide-1, palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7, palmitoyl tripeptide-38, palmitoyl tripeptide-5, acetyl tetrapeptide-9, or a custom peptide for your brand
On the labelHow skin and hair look and feel. Never hormones, estrogen or symptom relief.

How it works

From brief to filled bottle, on one floor.

  1. Brief & claims map

    Concept, customer, format, price point. Then we map the claims your product can carry, before anything is formulated.

  2. Peptide sourcing

    We match peptides to the concept and source qualified material. Every lot arrives with a Certificate of Analysis.

  3. Formulation & samples

    Our chemists make lab samples. We adjust texture, scent and feel with you until you sign off.

  4. Stability

    Peptides are sensitive to pH, heat and their neighbours. We test that the formula holds in its final pack before scale-up.

  5. Fill & release

    Made and filled in our FDA-registered plant in Chatsworth, with a batch record for every run.

  6. Launch paperwork

    INCI list, label and claims review, and the documentation you need for FDA (MoCRA) product listing.

Claims

We promise a well-made product, not a miracle.

In the US, a product's claims decide whether it is a cosmetic or a drug. That covers the label, the website, the ads and the influencer posts. One wrong word turns a serum into an unapproved drug. We write every label to the US standard, which also clears EU expectations, so your launch never starts with a warning letter.

Our in-house regulatory team guides claim language, but final responsibility for marketing claims stays with the brand, and we recommend a review by your own counsel before launch. For EU and UK sales, your Responsible Person will need the safety assessment and evidence behind each claim. We help you prepare that file.

FAQ

What brands ask us about peptides.

Can a peptide skincare product claim to treat acne?

Not as a cosmetic. In the US, "acne" is a drug claim. Only products made with an FDA monograph active such as salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide, and manufactured and labeled as OTC drugs, can use it. A peptide cosmetic can be positioned for blemish-prone skin and for how skin looks. We make both.

Can a peptide serum claim to grow hair or stop hair loss?

No. Those are drug claims. Peptide hair and scalp cosmetics can talk about fuller-looking, thicker-looking hair, scalp conditioning and hair that resists breakage. Influencer content counts as advertising, so the same rules apply to what creators say about your product.

Can I market a product for menopausal skin?

Yes, if you stay with appearance: skin that looks and feels drier, less firm, crepey, dull. Claims about hormones, estrogen or relief of menopause symptoms make a product a drug.

What is GHK-Cu, and why is everyone searching for it?

GHK-Cu (INCI: copper tripeptide-1) is a small peptide bound to copper, widely used in cosmetic serums and recognizable by its blue color. It is now the most searched peptide in US skincare. We formulate with it at the concentration your brand specifies.

Which peptides do you work with?

Copper tripeptide-1 (GHK-Cu), palmitoyl tripeptide-1, palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7, palmitoyl pentapeptide-4, acetyl hexapeptide-8, biotinoyl tripeptide-1, acetyl tetrapeptide-3 and branded peptide complexes. Need something nobody else has? We also develop custom peptides for partner brands. Put it in the brief.

Do you supply peptide ingredients on their own?

Yes, alongside formulation. Choose "Peptide ingredients" in the brief and tell us what you need.

What is the minimum order?

Ten thousand units per SKU, published, the same as every Formology product. Starting from a ready formula is the most economical route to that first run.

Do you work with brands outside the US?

Yes. Formulas and claim language are written to the US standard, which also fits EU and UK claim rules. For EU and UK sales you will need a Responsible Person and a Product Information File, and we supply the formulation data it needs.
