Collagen Peptides

Tripeptide-29 is a synthetic biomimetic peptide that significantly improves collagen synthesis promoting wrinkle reduction, firming, and skin plumping. It is known under the trademark AC Collagen Prepeptide PF. Collagen is a long-chain polymer made of short monomeric repeats that are generally made up of...

Overview Decapeptide-4, also known as CG-IDP2, is a synthetic peptide that mimics the effects of Somatomedin growth factors. Its primary applications are in skincare and haircare, where it promotes collagen and elastin production, improves skin texture, reduces wrinkles, and stimulates hair growth. It also...

What is Pentapeptide-4?Pentapeptide-4, also known as Palmitoyl Pentapeptide-4 (formerly Palmitoyl Pentapeptide-3), is a synthetic peptide derived from pro-collagen I with the amino acid sequence lysine-threonine-threonine-lysine-serine (KTTKS). This peptide is a key component in the Matrixyl™ family of peptides, including Matrixyl™ 3000, Matrixyl™ synthe’6™, and...

What is Tetrapeptide-21?Tetrapeptide-21 (GEKG peptide) is a synthetic peptide that mimics the structure of fragments from extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins such as collagens I-V, elastin, and pro-elastin. This peptide boosts the production of essential ECM components like collagen, hyaluronic acid, and fibronectin, making it...

What is Syn-Coll®?Syn-Coll® is a patented lipo-tripeptide-based complex designed to mimic the body’s natural process of collagen production. Its unique peptide sequence, Pal-Lys-Val-Lys, activates Tissue Growth Factor-β (TGF-β), a critical component in collagen synthesis. This water-soluble peptide can be easily incorporated into skincare formulations,...

What is Tripeptide-1 (GHK Peptide)?Tripeptide-1, also known as GHK peptide, is one of the most extensively studied cosmetic peptides. Discovered in 1973 in human blood plasma, it is a fragment of collagen type I, known for mimicking the natural growth factors responsible for enhancing...

What is Palmitoyl Hexapeptide-12?Palmitoyl Hexapeptide-12, also known as Biopeptide El™, is a conjugate of palmitic acid and a peptide with the sequence Val-Gly-Val-Ala-Pro-Gly. This sequence is a fragment of elastin, known as the "spring fragment," which is highly repeated in the elastin protein. It...

What is Peptamide™ 6?Peptamide™ 6, also known as Hexapeptide-11, is a synthetic hexapeptide with the sequence Phe-Val-Ala-Pro-Phe-Pro (FVAPFP). This peptide is derived from stress-related proteins (e.g., hsp70) and transmembrane proteins, which are integral to cellular function and skin health. Its unique composition enhances skin...

Overview Copper peptides, particularly the copper-tripeptide complex GHK-Cu, are powerful cosmeceutical ingredients used primarily in anti-aging products. Naturally occurring and synthesizable, they stimulate collagen and elastin production, leading to firmer, smoother skin. Their applications extend beyond skincare, encompassing hair growth stimulation and wound healing....

Overview Acetyl Tetrapeptide-11 (Ac-Pro-Pro-Tyr-Leu-NH2) is an active peptide that combats the visible signs of skin aging. It targets the epidermis, improving its cohesion, strength, and overall appearance, resulting in smoother, firmer skin. Mechanism of Action The skin aging process is significantly influenced by the...
