Palmitoyl Oligopeptide is a synthetic lipopeptide, a short amino-acid chain bound to palmitic acid for better penetration. Its INCI is Palmitoyl Oligopeptide. It goes into anti-ageing formulas on the idea of supporting firmness and collagen synthesis. The maker links the peptide with firmer skin, but independent data are sparse. View it as a supporting active with a modest evidence base, not a replacement for better-studied ingredients such as retinoids or vitamin C. It can accompany other actives, without expecting a dramatic change from it. Topically its systemic absorption is minimal, so it can be used during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Tolerance is good and irritation and allergy risk are low. It suits sensitive skin and is not comedogenic, so it fits oily skin too.
