Peptides

There are numerous examples in physiology of peptide regulatory elements that play integral roles in basic homeostatic mechanisms such as injury-repair responses and other stimulus-response actions. Among these are well-known neuropeptides (e.g., bradykinins, endorphins); metabolism and fat storage regulators (e.g., neuropeptide Y, leptin, insulin); tanning and skin pigmentation-related peptides (e.g., α-MSH, ACTH, Agouti), and peptides involved in wound healing (e.g., FGF).

This large group of innovative cosmeceutical ingredients triumphed in the world of skincare products during the last two decades. Peptides are chains of amino acids that are attached in a specific order. Amino acids are naturally occurring in the body and are vital to everyday living processes. Peptides can be made up of 2 or more amino acids that can stimulate different responses within the body. As a result, peptides serve as tiny messengers that can be sent to kick the skin into gear and make it look better.

Peptides are leading a beauty revolution due to their excellent multi-functional properties; formularies are scrambling to access the latest advances in cosmetic peptide technology. In addition, their "Botox-like" performance, activation of collagen and elastin production, and skin-lightening effect make them very efficient against coarse wrinkles and hyperpigmentation of the skin.

Acetyl Tetrapeptide-11
Acetyl Tetrapeptide-11 improves the skin's elasticity and cohesion, among other things by stimulating the synthesis of Syndecan-1 and Collagen XVII.
Acetyl Tetrapeptide-5
Acetyl Tetrapeptide-5 is a fantastic, super effective, naturally derived tetrapeptide that helps reduce the look of puffy eye bags and dark circles under the eyes and helps prevent them from reappearing.
GHK tripeptide

Aldenine® captures noxious RCS (reactive carbonyl species), which skin cells cannot detoxify by themselves when submitted to sunlight. Plant proteins contained in Aldenine® selectively boost the synthesis of Collagen III.

Decarboxy Carnosine
Alistin® (Decarboxy Carnosine) is a synthetic antiaging pseudodipeptide with high stability and resistance to enzymatic hydrolysis, that cell membranes oxidative stress and dermal fiber from cross-linking.
Argireline® Acetyl Hexapeptide-8
Acetyl Hexapeptide-8 is a mimic of the N-terminal end of SNAP-25. It competes with the natural protein for a position in the SNARE complex and relaxes facial muscles, destabilizing its formation without breaking any component.
Argirelox is a complex that combines the power of two revolutionary peptides fighting against expression lines and deep wrinkles by relaxing facial muscles.
Bipure is an innovative tetrapeptide obtained by condensation from azelaic acid and two molecules of the Dipeptide-10 (alanine-histidine).
Beta-White™ is an innovative biomimetic encapsulated (liposome) whitening peptide Oligopeptide-68 with a significant lightening effect. It reduces skin pigmentation and discolorations as well as age spots
Bio Placenta is a combination of five synthesized growth factors (EGF, IGF-1, acidic FGF, alkaline FGF, VEGF), amino acids and vitamins. Stimulates cell growth and skin tissue repair.
Biopeptide EL™

Biopeptide EL™ is a peptide-based complex ingredient for skin firmness and tone improvement. Palmitoyl Hexapeptide-12 is a synthetic lipo-peptide, a derivative of VGVAPG-peptide with the sequence Val-Gly-Val-Ala-Pro-Gly which is a fragment of the natural elastin.

Biotinoyl Tripeptide-1
Thanks to stimulating peptide that promotes anti-aging processes in the follicle, encouraging anchoring of molecules, supporting hair growth, and slowing down premature hair loss.

BoNT-L peptide (Palmitoyl Hexapeptide-19) is a synthetic lipo-peptide with a Botox-like effect and without the side effects of invasive treatment. In comparison with Botox, it has several advantages such as:

Calmosensine™
Powered with triple-action lipopeptide Acetyl Dipeptide-1 Cetyl ester, Calmosensine™ leaves a significant anti-aging effect, boosting elastin production, mimic-muscle relaxation, and releasing precursor of endorphins (well-being hormones).
Red Clover
Capixyl is a bio-mimetic peptide with a red clover extract. It's an Hair Care Complex with anti-aging properties.
Caprooyl tetrapeptide-3
Caprooyl tetrapeptide-3 is a biomimetic lipopeptide structure based on TGF-ß (transforming growth factor beta) that plays an essential role in the natural production of the extracellular matrix components.
ChroNoline™
CroNoline™ is a specially formulated amino acid combination, which recreates growth factors found in youthful skin.
Formulated to regulate collagen fiber formation, Collagen Regulator Tetrapeptide binds to collagen fibrils to dramatically restore skin suppleness and enhance lift.
GHK-Cu

Numerous skincare products based on copper-peptide complexes are increasingly finding clinical and cosmeceutical uses. The biological basis for these actions is GHK (Tripeptide-1), a peptide generated during tissue damage with a very high affinity for copper (Cu2+).

Cyclotetrapeptide-24 Aminocyclohexane Carboxylate
RonaCare® Cyclopeptid-5 rapidly gives the skin a fresher and more youthful appearance. The peptide replicates the natural processes of skin communication and repair.
Dermaxyl before after
Ceramide 2 replenishes the lipid barrier and improves the skin's water-binding ability, smoothing fine lines and deep wrinkles. Palmitoyl Hexapeptide-12 stimulates fibroblasts' mobility and boosts elastin production, improving skin elasticity and firmness.
Tripeptide-9 Citrulline

Skin aging is a progressive accumulation of damage, beginning at the molecular level within the dermal cells. Transition metals are one of the factors responsible for the formation of highly reactive and DNA-damaging species (free radicals).

Diamond Sirt schematic and under an electron microscope

Diamond Sirt is a conjugated complex formed by silicon dioxide microspheres covered with aggregated diamonds that stabilize function-sirtuin peptide (Acetyl sh-Pentapeptide-35) for use in anti-aging treatments.
