BIS-SH-PENTAPEPTIDE-5 PORPHYRA 334

Description

BIS-SH-PENTAPEPTIDE-5 PORPHYRA 334 is an innovative peptide complex derived from red algae (Porphyra umbilicalis) that offers exceptional skin protection and anti-aging benefits. This bioactive ingredient combines a synthetic pentapeptide with naturally occurring mycosporine-like amino acids (MAAs) found in marine organisms.

The pentapeptide component, consisting of five amino acids, is designed to penetrate the skin's upper layers and stimulate collagen production. This helps improve skin elasticity and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. The MAAs, particularly Porphyra-334, provide potent antioxidant properties and UV protection, shielding the skin from environmental stressors and photo-aging.

BIS-SH-PENTAPEPTIDE-5 PORPHYRA 334 has been shown to enhance the skin's natural defense mechanisms against oxidative stress and DNA damage. It also helps maintain skin hydration by supporting the production of hyaluronic acid and other natural moisturizing factors. Clinical studies have demonstrated its efficacy in improving skin texture, firmness, and overall appearance.

This ingredient is suitable for various skincare formulations, including serums, creams, and sunscreens, making it a versatile addition to anti-aging and protective skincare products.
