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.

Trojan ® Q10 is an intelligent complex with a dual-targeted delivery system that effectively delivers the CoQ10 to fibroblast mitochondria with pinpoint accuracy.

Acetyl Tetrapeptide-2
Uplevity™ is a peptide invented to fight the undesired effects of a lack of skin firmness and cohesion by enhancing the natural elements that help to maintain collagen levels and elastin fibers correctly assembled, and facilitating the union between cells and the ECM (extracellular matrix).
Vanistryl®
Combination of active peptide-based ingredients encapsulated in a new delivery system (micellar system reconstituted liposome). It acts in the stretch marks already formed and the old ones while preventing the formation of new ones.
Portulaca pilosa plant
Volulip Sederma is an active substance from the essence of the Portulaca pilosa (Kiss me quick) plant, which contains naturally changed matrikines − mimetic peptides − that promote hyaluron synthesis.

X50 Lightening is a liposomal vitamin-peptide complex that intelligently lightens and brightens the skin. It is a skin-whitening agent that inhibits tyrosinase's enzymatic activity, helping lessen dermal pigmentation and even the skin tone.

X50 Myocept is a peptide, lactic and glycolic acid complex with drone delivery system. Targets skin neurons for a botox-like effect. Efficiently reduces muscle contractions; resulting in the decrease and prevention of lines and wrinkles.

X50 Silhouette is an encapsulated complex containing plant extract and a guiding peptide for "intelligent" slimming and trimming. It defines incredible progress in the fight against cellulite.

X50 Skin Barrier is a peptide complex with a drone delivery system. The Skin Care Drone® for keratinocytes. The most important, primary role of our skin barrier function is to prevent fluid loss, to protect water-rich organs from the dry environment.

X50® Antiaging is a peptide-based complex ingredient with a dual-layer capsule called X50 which anchors peptides on its surface turning itself into an intelligent targeting device (ITD) able to target cells and release its antiaging load to their core.

X50® Hyalufiller is a peptide-based complex ingredient with an advanced delivery mechanism (Cosmetic Drone™) and targeted release of biologically active components. The complex structure consists of three parts:

X50® Photoglow is a peptide complex that turns light into cell energy for glowing, luminous skin. It prevents wrinkles by producing new epidermal cells, reduces wrinkles by increasing collagen and elastin, and specifically targets fibroblast cells.

X50® Pure White is an innovative peptide-based complex that brightens the skin in an intelligent way.
