Cosmetic Peptides

In recent years, cosmetic peptides have emerged as an important ingredient in countless skincare products, especially for those marketed towards preserving a youthful appearance.  Since peptides are active in many body systems, it is not surprising that they play several roles in the health and maintenance of the skin.  Some of the useful applications that cosmetic peptides may play in anti-aging skincare and haircare include:

• Improving skin elasticity and firmness through stimulation of collagen, elastin, and fibronectin production
• Reducing the appearance of lines and wrinkles, including relaxing muscles, typically through neurotransmission
• Brightening complexion and alleviating hyperpigmentation
• Cell-communication and signaling
• Melanin-stimulating, for hair color maintenance
• Hair-growth suppression
• Antimicrobial properties
• Wound healing
• Anti-inflammatory properties
