Skin Peptide Name Map: Trade Names, Chemical Names and Sequences
Customers ask for SNAP-8®, Argireline® or Matrixyl®; listings use chemical names, sequences and CAS numbers. One table to match them, plus the older names still in circulation.

Writing an order line
Use three things on every line: the chemical name, the CAS number and the strength per vial — for example "Acetyl Octapeptide-3, CAS 868844-74-0, 10 mg, 3 kits". The quotation and the batch COA repeat the chemical name and give the lot number.
