Expert Verdict

CAS 928007-64-1. Not listed in EU Annex II (prohibited) or Annex III (restricted). Registered in CosIng with no concentration limit. No SCCS opinion issued. No CIR safety assessment published. ECHA C&L: 104 of 104 notifications report no GHS hazard classification. Mechanistically sound neurotransmitter-inhibiting peptide (mu-opioid receptor agonism, CGRP suppression) with clinical evidence at 0.0015% active. Primary regulatory limitation is absence of independent public toxicology data โ€” safety substantiation relies on supplier dossier (Lubrizol/Lipotec). Suitable for use in cosmetics at recommended supplier levels (0.2-6% of trade solution), but EU Article 10 Safety Assessments requiring full toxicological dossiers will need direct access to the supplier's confidential data package or commissioned independent testing.
