Peptide Foundry is a private label manufacturer of hair and scalp peptide serums: cosmetic formulas built on Biotinoyl Tripeptide-1 and Copper Tripeptide-1, labeled by their INCI names, for the look of fuller, thicker-looking hair and a healthier-looking scalp. We produce in cGMP-certified, FDA-registered facilities with a Certificate of Analysis on every batch, HPLC-verified for purity, from a 500-unit minimum order per SKU. These are cosmetic grooming products; every claim is appearance-based.

Hair peptides are cosmetic peptide actives used in scalp serums, lash and brow serums, and leave-in treatments for the look and feel of hair. The best known is Biotinoyl Tripeptide-1, a biotin-linked tripeptide listed on labels by that INCI name, and copper peptides (Copper Tripeptide-1) are also formulated into scalp products. They are conditioning cosmetic ingredients, used for how they help hair look and feel, thicker-looking, fuller-appearing, and better groomed.
It is worth being precise about what these are, because the category sits next to a very different one. A cosmetic hair product is about appearance and grooming. A product that claims to grow hair or treat hair loss is a drug, in the same regulatory category as minoxidil. We build only the cosmetic kind, and we keep the label there.
We manufacture finished, retail-ready hair and scalp cosmetics under your brand. Peptides pair well with the conditioning and grooming ingredients customers already know, so a scalp serum can carry Biotinoyl Tripeptide-1 alongside caffeine, panthenol, or niacinamide in one considered formula.
We help you choose actives, a base, and a format that fit your positioning and price point, then produce it with full documentation. Copper Tripeptide-1 is a useful companion active for scalp serums where the look of a healthier scalp is part of the story.
Hair peptide products are cosmetics, governed by intended use, and the line here is bright. You may describe how a product changes the look and feel of hair: the appearance of fuller, thicker-looking hair, a healthier-looking scalp, softer, more conditioned, more manageable hair, the look of denser lashes. Those are grooming and appearance claims, which is what a cosmetic is allowed to make.
You may not claim the product grows hair, regrows hair, stops or prevents hair loss, reduces shedding, or treats thinning or a scalp condition. Every one of those is a structure-or-function or disease claim that would make the product an unapproved drug, and hair-loss claims in particular draw active FDA attention. We do not write them, and we flag them at the artwork stage so your launch stays cosmetic.
We label actives by their INCI names, Biotinoyl Tripeptide-1 and Copper Tripeptide-1, rather than any trade name, so your compliance rests on the ingredient. We also do not assert a specific clinical hair result on your behalf: the honest, defensible position for a cosmetic hair peptide is the look and feel of the hair, and that is the one we build.
Every batch we produce ships with a Certificate of Analysis: HPLC purity, where a minimum of 98% is the accepted industry standard for the peptide active, plus mass-spectrometry identity confirmation of the exact molecular weight. Production runs in cGMP-certified, FDA-registered facilities with full batch traceability.
Verification is the baseline here, not a premium tier, because a hair peptide serum that cannot document its active is not a product we would put your name on.
The minimum order is 500 units per SKU, deliberately low so you can launch a hair peptide serum in market with a full Certificate of Analysis included, without committing to a warehouse of inventory.
Samples are $150 each, plus $20 per additional SKU, produced in 10 to 14 days and shipped by UPS in 3 to 5 days. Priced quotes come back within 48 hours. Full production runs in 30 to 40 days from approval on 50/50 payment terms, and most brands go from brief to retail-ready in 4 to 8 weeks.
The hair peptide shelf is crowded with products whose copy quietly crosses into drug claims. We manufacture across the full compliant peptide spectrum and tell you plainly where the cosmetic line sits before you spend anything, which is the difference between a grooming brand that scales and one that draws a warning letter.
You get one partner from active to shelf: the peptide, the formulation, the fill, the finished bottle, and a Certificate of Analysis, all under one roof and all verified pure.
For external use only. All claims are appearance-based cosmetic claims.
The segment growth and the guardrails behind a hair peptide line. Every figure is attributed to a named source; product claims on this page stay appearance-based and cosmetic.
The peptide skincare and scalp-care segment is forecast to grow from about $2.63B in 2025 to $8.37B by 2035, a roughly 12.3% annual rate, as peptide actives expand from face care into hair and scalp.

Cosmetic peptides perform at very low use levels: in a controlled study, Palmitoyl Pentapeptide-4 improved skin appearance at just 3 ppm, so a small peptide load goes a long way in a finished scalp serum.

A cosmetic may claim to cleanse or beautify; the moment a product claims to affect the structure or a function of the body, such as growing hair, it legally becomes a drug, so every hair peptide claim we support stays on the look of hair.
We compete on verification depth, spectrum, and compliance, not on a no-minimum race. Every Peptide Foundry value is documented and verifiable on request.

The most-used cosmetic hair peptide is Biotinoyl Tripeptide-1, and Copper Tripeptide-1 is also formulated into scalp serums. We label each by its INCI name and can combine them with grooming actives such as caffeine or panthenol.
No. Growing or regrowing hair and stopping or preventing hair loss are drug claims that would make the product an unapproved drug, and hair-loss claims draw active FDA attention. We keep the copy on appearance: the look of fuller, thicker-looking hair and a healthier-looking scalp.
They are cosmetics: grooming and appearance products for the look and feel of hair. Products that claim to treat hair loss or grow hair are drugs, in the same category as minoxidil, and we do not manufacture those.
We label with INCI names such as Biotinoyl Tripeptide-1 and Copper Tripeptide-1, so your compliance rests on the ingredient rather than on a third-party trademark.
The minimum order is 500 units per SKU. Samples are $150 each plus $20 per additional SKU, produced in 10 to 14 days.
