Anti 3AK Peptides
Anti 3AK Peptides (SpecPed® 3AK / Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7)
Product Overview
Anti 3AK Peptides is a general term that primarily refers to Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7, which is sometimes labeled as "3AK Complex peptide" in commercial listings. Additionally, SpecPed® 3AK is a commercially formulated blend containing Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1 and Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7 as active ingredients. This blend is designed to leverage the synergistic reaction of both peptides in promoting Collagen I, Fibrinogen, and Hyaluronic Acid synthesis, making it suitable for a wide range of anti-aging and eye care products. It can effectively restore and prevent wrinkle formation.
The two main variations of this ingredient are:
Variation | INCI / Composition | Key Characteristics |
|---|---|---|
Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7 (3AK Complex) | Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7 (tetrapeptide) | Single-peptide active; anti-aging, anti-inflammatory, firming |
SpecPed® 3AK | Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1 + Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7 blend | Dual-peptide synergistic blend; collagen, fibrinogen, hyaluronic acid boosting |

Formulation Guidelines
pH Stability: Stable in formulations within pH range of 5.0–7.0.
Thermal Stability: Add during the cooling phase at temperatures below 45°C (113°F).
Solubility: Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7 is water-soluble, making it easy to incorporate into aqueous systems. SpecPed® 3AK is supplied as a ready-to-use liquid solution.
Addition Protocol (for powder form):
Pre-dissolve the peptide powder in a small amount of distilled water or propylene glycol
Ensure the main batch temperature is below 45°C
Add the pre-dissolved solution slowly while stirring gently
Verify final formulation pH is within 5.0–7.0
For SpecPed® 3AK (liquid):
Add directly during the final blending stage at temperatures below 45°C
Mix gently to ensure uniform distribution
Incompatible Ingredients: Avoid strong acids (pH < 5.0) and strong bases (pH > 7.0). Avoid high concentrations of strong chelating agents.
