Brevo now bans peptides by name

Brevo added a clause in summer 2026 that names peptide products, including ones labeled research use only. What it covers and what it doesn't.

All field notes

For a while Brevo was one of the platforms peptide sellers suggested to each other after a Klaviyo ban. That changed in 2026. Brevo's acceptable use policy now lists peptide-based products among the things it won't accept, regardless of whether they're legal.

What the clause says

The clause covers peptide-based products for injectable or oral human therapeutic, weight-loss or performance use, and gives GLP-1 analogues and growth hormone peptides as examples. It explicitly includes products labeled "research use only", and applies whether or not they're sold under a prescription or legal where the recipient lives.

Archived copies of the policy page show the clause wasn't there on July 19, 2026 and was there by August 4, 2026.

What it doesn't cover

The wording is about injectable or oral use. Topical and cosmetic peptides, like those in skincare, aren't covered by this clause. If that's your category, read the full policy before you assume you're fine either way.

Why this matters beyond Brevo

Most email platforms catch peptide stores through a general rule about pharmaceutical products. Brevo naming peptides and the research-use label outright removes the gray area that let some stores argue they were selling research chemicals, not drugs. Other platforms could tighten their wording the same way.
