Identity
PubChem lists SNAP-8 as a synonym for acetyl octapeptide-3 and provides a chemical record for that peptide. This resolves the compound name, but does not establish the concentration or purity of a finished cosmetic product.
Research context
The source is an identity record. It does not evaluate topical formulation performance, wrinkle appearance, injection use, systemic exposure or effects in people.
Evidence boundary
No efficacy or safety claim follows from a compound record alone. Claims about a particular cosmetic must be supported by studies of that formulation and use setting.
This source-linked record does not establish a diagnosis, treatment effect, product quality, or personal suitability.
Chemical identity should not be confused with evidence for a marketing claim, particularly where concentration, vehicle, stability and exposure differ between formulations.
