Greyverse Means Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-20 Amide in Solution

Oct 19, 2026 | Market Insights

Quick answer: Greyverse is not a synonym you can paste onto every Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-20 drum. As published by Clariant, Greyverse is Glycerin (and) Water (and) Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-20 Amide. Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-20 on this site is sold as a neat powder under the non-amide INCI string—treat it as a Greyverse-oriented alternative only when sequence and form match what the brief requires.

Scalp placement and powder dosing are in Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-20 on the Scalp: Sequence and Powder Dose.

The sequence that belongs to the trade name

Industry listings of Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-20 Amide give the sequence Pal-His-Phe-Arg-Trp-NH2—a palmitoylated copy of the His-Phe-Arg-Trp motif in alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone. Clariant’s public Greyverse page states the amide INCI and an alpha-MSH origin. It does not replace the sequence line on your COA. Require the sequence in writing before you treat a powder as that grade.

There is no product page here for Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-20 Amide as a separate SKU. If the brief names the amide, do not silently switch the INCI to the acid form without supplier confirmation.

A PubChem record that is a different peptide

PubChem’s compound titled Palmitoyl tetrapeptide-20 is palmitoyl-Pro-Glu-Lys-Lys (PEKK). That is not His-Phe-Arg-Trp. Do not pull a CAS, molecular weight, or structure from that record onto a Greyverse specification. Match the lot to the amide sequence, not to a similar title.

Solution percent and powder percent

Greyverse is sold as a glycerin-and-water solution of the peptide. A neat ≥98% powder is a different commercial form. A use level quoted for the solution is the solution, not the peptide, unless the TDS says otherwise. Copying that numeral onto a high-assay powder overstates the dose. This site’s powder page suggests about 0.005–0.05% for the neat peptide—set the pilot from the COA you buy.

A peptide buyers place next to it

Melitane GL, as published by its supplier, is Glycerin (and) Water (and) Dextran (and) Acetyl Hexapeptide-1. That is a separate material for skin color pathways, not a substitute on a purchase order for Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-20 or for the Greyverse amide.

What changes on the purchase order

Field Greyverse (public sheet) This site powder
Peptide INCI Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-20 Amide Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-20

What to put in the quote or sample email

  • Trade name Greyverse only as a reference, never instead of the INCI
  • Exact INCI (amide vs non-amide) and written sequence
  • Form: solution vs neat powder, and peptide assay
  • Cool-down / pH needs
  • Sample pack size, plus COA, SDS, and TDS

Documents and samples for the powder are on the Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-20 page. Send the inquiry there once sequence and form are locked.
