The science, in plain language
Educate-to-sell: enough mechanism to be honest, not enough swagger to sound like a biohacking clinic.
What a peptide is
Peptides are short chains of amino acids. In this shop they are leave-on cosmetic ingredients. In the encyclopaedia, some names are prescription medicines or research-only compounds that we do not sell.
Topical delivery vs injection
A serum sits on and in the outer layers of skin. An injectable medicine is a different legal and safety category. Shop products are not for injection. Encyclopaedia research entries are not a shopping list.
What is better established vs still emerging
Registered medicines have labelled uses and large trials. Cosmetic peptides often have smaller, mixed studies about appearance. We say so on each encyclopaedia page with an evidence grade and a TGA mark.
Skin barrier and needling
Cosmetic needling disrupts the surface. Aftercare and hygiene matter more than adding more actives. See the aftercare hub before you combine tools and serums.
How we grade evidence
Grades A–E sit on encyclopaedia entries: approved clinical use down to mechanistic notes only. Cosmetic shop copy stays in appearance language even when a related encyclopaedia page is detailed.
How to read an ingredient list
INCI names (for example Copper Tripeptide-1, Palmitoyl Pentapeptide-4) are the cosmetic names. Open the glossary for those we sell. Names like BPC-157 are encyclopaedia-only.
TGA versus cosmetic rules
A TGA-approved cosmetic ingredient is not the same as an approved medicine. Research peptides are labelled For research purposes only.
What we will never sell
Grey-market injectables, research-only peptides as cart items, and anabolic oils or tablets. Those libraries stay educational. Oral NAD+ tablets and GLP-1 / NAD+ support patches in the shop are not those compounds.
