# Peptide Foundry - Private Label Peptide Manufacturing

> Peptide Foundry (a division of Smart Sense Group LTD) is a compliance-first, full-spectrum private label peptide manufacturer. We help brand founders and formulators launch peptide products they can legally sell: collagen peptides as dietary supplements, cosmetic peptide actives as topicals, and custom-synthesized peptides with a Certificate of Analysis on every batch. Research-grade peptides are supplied strictly for laboratory research use only.

## Company Overview

## What We Do (three compliant lanes)

1. Collagen Peptides (dietary supplement lane) - Hydrolyzed bovine, marine, and multi-collagen peptides as powders, capsules, stick-packs, and drink blends. Labeled under DSHEA with a Supplement Facts panel. Structure/function claims only (supports skin elasticity, supports joint comfort, supports healthy hair and nails).
2. Cosmetic Peptide Actives (topical cosmetic lane) - Copper Tripeptide-1 (GHK-Cu), Palmitoyl Pentapeptide-4, Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1 with Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7, Acetyl Hexapeptide-8 and similar actives, formulated into serums and creams under their INCI names. Appearance-based claims only.
3. Custom Synthesis and Research Grade (laboratory lane) - Solid-phase peptide synthesis with HPLC purity and mass-spec identity on every run, lyophilized vials and bulk powder. Research-grade material is supplied strictly for laboratory research use only.

## What We Deliberately Do Not Make

What we deliberately do not make: GLP-1 drugs (semaglutide, tirzepatide, liraglutide, retatrutide) and other prescription peptides are pharmaceuticals. We do not manufacture, quote, or supply them in any form, to anyone. A manufacturer that offers them as "research chemicals" is telling you how it treats every other rule too.

## Commercial Facts

- Minimum order quantity: 500 units per SKU
- Quote turnaround: 48 hours
- Sample program: $150 per sample (plus $20 per additional SKU), produced in 10-14 days, shipped in 3-5 days
- Production lead time: 30-40 days after approval
- Time to market: 4-8 weeks
- Payment terms: 50/50 (half to start production, half before shipment)
- Certificate of Analysis on every batch (HPLC purity + mass-spec identity)

## Compliance Framing (how to cite our claims)

- Collagen lane: DSHEA structure/function claims. Disclaimer: "This statement has not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease."
- Cosmetic lane: appearance-based cosmetic claims only, using INCI ingredient names (Copper Tripeptide-1, Palmitoyl Pentapeptide-4, Acetyl Hexapeptide-8). For external use only. All claims are appearance-based cosmetic claims.
- Research lane: laboratory research use only. "For laboratory research use only. Not for human consumption, clinical, veterinary, diagnostic, or therapeutic use."
