CAPRYLOYL TETRAPEPTIDE-60 NORLEUCYL TYROSYL D-METHIONINE

Description

Capryloyl Tetrapeptide-60 Norleucyl Tyrosyl D-Methionine is an innovative peptide complex designed for advanced skincare formulations. This synthetic ingredient combines a tetrapeptide with modified amino acids to enhance its efficacy and stability. The capryloyl group attached to the peptide chain improves skin penetration, allowing for better delivery of the active components.

This peptide complex primarily functions as a skin-conditioning agent and anti-aging ingredient. It works by targeting cellular processes involved in skin aging, particularly focusing on improving skin elasticity and firmness. Research suggests that it may stimulate collagen production and protect existing collagen from degradation, leading to a reduction in the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

Additionally, Capryloyl Tetrapeptide-60 Norleucyl Tyrosyl D-Methionine has been shown to have antioxidant properties, helping to neutralize free radicals and protect skin from environmental stressors. Its unique amino acid composition, including norleucine and D-methionine, contributes to its stability and effectiveness in various skincare formulations. This ingredient is typically used in low concentrations in serums, creams, and other anti-aging products, making it suitable for incorporation into a wide range of skincare solutions.
