sh-Polypeptide-22

sh-Polypeptide-22 is a synthetic recombinant human transforming growth factor beta 1 (TGFβ-1) analog peptide composed of 113 amino acids. It stimulates cell proliferation and differentiation and heals wounds by activating the marginal division of epithelial cells and fibroblasts.

sh-Polypeptide-22 is a powerful stimulator of collagen, elastin, and fibronectin synthesis. It promotes microvascular cell renewal and improves blood microcirculation.

Suppressing the synthesis of pro-inflammatory cytokines, sh-Polypeptide-22 has a noticeable anti-inflammatory effect. In addition, it regulates immune responses, suppressing autoimmune processes.

Applied topically, sh-Polypeptide-22 leaves multiple beneficial effects on the skin including:
  • Suppress growth and pigmentation of melanocytes
  • Promotes maturation of keratinocytes
  • Increases synthesis of elastin and collagen in the human fibroblasts
  • Decreases melanin production by mature melanocytes.

sh-Polypeptide-22 is a safe and effective ingredient valued for its skin brightening, firming, elasticity-enhancing, anti-wrinkle, and wound healing properties.
