Myristoyl Pentapeptide-17 is a bioavailable lipo-oligopeptide (sequence Myr-Lys-Leu-Ala-Lys-Lys-NH2) with eyelash-enhancing action. In addition, it has anti-aging, anti-inflammatory, and anti-bacterial properties. Its solution is colorless to light beige and odorless, which does not impact formulation aesthetics.
Stimulating cell regeneration, Myristoyl Pentapeptide-17 smooths skin surfaces and improves texture. It reduces pro-inflammatory cytokines, soothing skin irritation, and inflammation. Thanks to its short cationic structure, it is effective against harmful microbes and fungi, like C. acnes and yeast, while improving the skin’s biological immune defense.
Stimulating genes responsible for keratin production, Myristoyl Pentapeptide-17 is used in many high-end formulations that expose fuller, healthier, and more beautiful eyelashes with excellent efficacy. Customers mention that it lengthens and thickens eyelashes, noticeably intensifying one’s expression.
Regularly using products containing Myristoyl Pentapeptide-17 increases epidermis structural protein production, skin barrier function, and natural protection. Combined with Myristoyl Hexapeptide-16, it potentiates the effect of visibly increased eyelash length after two weeks. It is a safe ingredient approved as a cosmetic ingredient in most countries.Related ingredients
