SNAP-8 Wholesale & bulk
99.67% pure. 6× tested. Same-day shipping.
Overview
SNAP-8, or acetyl octapeptide-3, is an eight-residue peptide that extends the six-residue acetyl hexapeptide-3 by two amino acids, with an acetylated N-terminus and an amidated C-terminus.
Its sequence mimics the N-terminal end of SNAP-25, the protein that gives the peptide its name and one of the SNARE proteins involved in neurotransmitter release. Acetyl hexapeptide-3, its six-residue predecessor, is one of the most widely used peptides in cosmetic chemistry.
SNAP-8 is a cosmetic-ingredient peptide, used in formulation research rather than biological studies, and sits in the catalog's Cosmetic category with the copper peptides GHK-Cu and AHK-Cu. It is offered as a 10 mg fill.
The certificate for one batch of SNAP-8 is published in full, covering the 10 mg fill, with its HPLC chromatogram and a laboratory report number that can be independently verified.
The minimum is 50 vials (5 kits) across the whole order, not per compound: this compound is ordered in 10-vial kits and can be mixed with anything else in the catalog to reach it. Bulk orders earn volume pricing on every line.
Wholesale & bulk pricing
PER VIAL · 1 SKUPrices are per vial and every compound ships in 10-vial kits, so buying SNAP-8 in bulk is a matter of kit count. Your tier is set by the compound kits on the order, not per compound — so 25 kits split across several compounds earn the same Tier 2 price on SNAP-8 as 25 kits of SNAP-8 alone. The minimum is 50 vials (5 kits) across the order, and supplies sit outside both.

Wholesale pricing per vial, ordered in 10-vial kits. Volume tiers apply to the compound kits on your order, mixed across any of them; supplies are priced flat and sit outside the tiers and the order minimum. Effective October 2026; confirmed in writing with your order and subject to change. A kit is 10 vials.
What a bulk SNAP-8 order costs
SNAP-8 10 MG, priced at the first kit count of each tier. The tier counts every kit on the order, so mixing in other compounds can only lower these figures. Shipping is extra; see the wholesale terms below.

Testing & certificate
Every new batch is tested by an independent lab before release — identity, quantity, purity, endotoxins, heavy metals, and sterility. Certificates are batch-specific: the purity number on the certificate is the exact value returned for that batch — nothing is rounded up, nothing is estimated.
Issued by an independent lab. Each certificate carries a report number and access code you can check directly with the lab — we do not stand between you and the laboratory. Certificates are batch-specific, so the figures above belong to the batch named on each row and not to any other.
All SNAP-8 certificates of analysis, with chromatograms → Every published certificate is also searchable by batch or report number in the certificate library.
Wholesale terms
- MINIMUM ORDER
- 50-vial minimum. Mix any compounds to reach it. Ordered in 10-vial kits.
- PRICING
- From $13.00 per vial at 100+ kits — see the tier table. Confirmed in writing with your order.
- WHO WE SELL TO
- Resellers and institutions (resale certificate welcome)
- ORIGIN
- US-sourced and US-warehoused. Never relabeled from overseas.
- LABELING
- Stock vials ship unlabeled. The labeled vial shown on our product pages and catalog is an illustration — it exists so you can see the compound and dose at a glance, and is not a photograph of what arrives. Your lot number is on your invoice, which is how you match what you received to its certificate. Printed vial labels are the white-label program.
- SHIPPING
- Shipping within the United States is charged per 400 vials: UPS 2nd Day Air $35.00 or UPS Next Day Air $100.00 for each 400 vials or part of 400, so 401–800 vials ships 2nd Day Air for $70.00. You choose the service on the order form. Orders in by noon Pacific ship the same business day from Costa Mesa, California; 2nd Day Air arrives in 1–2 business days — about 1–2 days in California, around 2 nationwide. Special destinations are quoted individually. Cold-chain packaging, where a compound requires it, is quoted and billed separately.
- RETURNS
- Research peptides are not returnable once shipped: sealed vials and chain-of-custody mean a returned vial cannot be released to another buyer. If a shipment arrives damaged, incomplete, or is not what you ordered, contact the desk and we will make it right.
Handling & storage
- STORAGE
- Store lyophilized refrigerated, protected from light. Shelf life up to 2 years refrigerated. Stable at ambient temperature for transit.
- RECONSTITUTION
- Reconstitute with bacteriostatic water for laboratory use. Reconstituted material is stable for up to 60 days depending on the compound — keep refrigerated and protected from light.

Frequently asked
What does SNAP-8 cost wholesale?
SNAP-8 is $18.00 per vial at list (5–24 kits) and $13.00 at Tier 3 (100+ kits). A bulk order of 1,000 vials of the 10 mg fill comes to $13,000.00. The tier counts every kit on the order, across all compounds.
Is SNAP-8 the same as acetyl octapeptide-3?
Yes. Acetyl octapeptide-3 is its INCI name, the one used on cosmetic ingredient lists; SNAP-8 is the name it is usually ordered under.
How is SNAP-8 different from acetyl hexapeptide-3?
Acetyl hexapeptide-3 has six residues. SNAP-8 extends the same sequence by two, alanine and aspartic acid, to eight, keeping the acetylated N-terminus and amidated C-terminus. Only SNAP-8 is in the catalog.
What is the minimum wholesale order for SNAP-8?
50 vials (5 kits) across the whole order, not per compound, in 10-vial kits. On its own, SNAP-8 reaches it with 5 kits; 50 vials of the 10 mg fill come to $900.00 at list. Kits of any other compounds count toward the same minimum, and volume pricing starts at 25 kits (250 vials) across the order.
Is there a certificate of analysis for SNAP-8?
Yes. One published batch covers the 10 mg fill, at 99.673% purity, with its HPLC chromatogram and the lab's report number. Vials ship unlabeled, so the batch number for an order is on its invoice.
