Palmitoyl Hexapeptide-12 (Biopeptide El™)
Price range: $79.00 through $517.00
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 plays a vital role in boosting the production of collagen, elastin, fibronectin, and glycosaminoglycans (GAGs), key components of the skin’s extracellular matrix (ECM).
Key Benefits
- Boosts Collagen and Elastin: Stimulates fibroblasts to increase collagen, elastin, and ECM components for firmer, more elastic skin.
- Reduces Signs of Aging: Improves skin tone, texture, and reduces fine lines and wrinkles.
- Enhances Hydration: Supports skin moisturization for a plump and smooth appearance.
- Restructures and Firms Skin: Strengthens the skin’s architecture, especially on the neck and face.
- Promotes Skin Healing: Attracts fibroblasts to repair and rejuvenate damaged or inflamed areas.
- Synergistic with Ceramides: Works with Ceramide NG (as in Dermaxyl™) to amplify anti-aging and hydrating effects.
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 plays a vital role in boosting the production of collagen, elastin, fibronectin, and glycosaminoglycans (GAGs), key components of the skin’s extracellular matrix (ECM).
How Palmitoyl Hexapeptide-12 Works
- Enhanced Delivery with Palmitic Acid:
The attachment of palmitic acid to the hexapeptide creates a more lipophilic structure, improving its skin penetration and bioactivity. This allows the peptide to reach deeper layers of the skin for effective results. - Elastin Fragment Function:
The peptide sequence mimics elastin’s “spring fragment,” stimulating fibroblasts to produce collagen, elastin, and GAGs, which contribute to skin’s firmness, elasticity, and hydration. - Chemotactic Properties:
Palmitoyl Hexapeptide-12 has a chemotactic effect, attracting fibroblasts to sites of inflammation or damage, promoting healing and rejuvenation. - Restructuring Effect:
Biopeptide El™ strengthens the skin structure, improving firmness, tone, and moisture levels. - Synergy with Ceramide NG (Dermaxyl™):
Research shows that combining Palmitoyl Hexapeptide-12 with Ceramide NG enhances anti-aging effects, improves skin barrier function, and increases hydration.
