Description
SNAP-8 10mg is a 10mg vial of SNAP-8, a cosmetic octapeptide, supplied by Evolve Peptides as freeze-dried powder. It’s sold for laboratory research only.
What is SNAP-8?
SNAP-8 (acetyl octapeptide-3) is an eight-amino-acid peptide that extends argireline by two amino acids. Like argireline, it mimics the end of SNAP-25, a protein needed to release acetylcholine at nerve endings.
It’s used in cosmetic research on expression lines.
SNAP-8 mechanism of action
SNAP-8 works the same way as argireline: it mimics the N-terminal end of SNAP-25 and competes for a spot in the SNARE complex that releases acetylcholine.
The two extra amino acids are meant to make that competition more effective. Less acetylcholine release means weaker muscle contraction in the models used.

What the research says about SNAP-8
The manufacturer reports reduced wrinkle depth in small volunteer studies and stronger activity than argireline in cell assays.

How to reconstitute SNAP-8 10mg
Here’s the math for 10mg of peptide:
- 1ml of bacteriostatic water gives 10mg/ml
- 2ml of bacteriostatic water gives 5mg/ml
- 3ml of bacteriostatic water gives 3.33mg/ml
Choose the volume that suits your measurements. Mark the vial with the concentration and date so nobody has to guess later.
Use sterile bacteriostatic water. Warm the sealed vial to room temperature first so no condensation gets in, add the water slowly along the glass wall, and swirl gently until it’s clear. Never shake.
Storing SNAP-8 10mg
Store sealed vials in the fridge (2 to 8°C) or freezer (-20°C), away from light. Mixed solution goes back in the fridge and should be used within about 28 days.
SNAP-8 purity and lab testing
Scroll through the SNAP-8 10mg photos and you’ll find:
