Description

NICOTIANA BENTHAMIANA HEXAPEPTIDE-40 SH-OLIGOPEPTIDE-1 is an innovative bioengineered peptide complex derived from the Nicotiana benthamiana plant, specifically designed for advanced skincare applications. This unique ingredient combines a hexapeptide with an oligopeptide to create a potent, multifunctional active that targets multiple aspects of skin health and appearance.

The hexapeptide-40 component is known for its ability to enhance skin firmness and elasticity by stimulating collagen production and protecting existing collagen from degradation.

This peptide complex demonstrates remarkable stability and bioavailability, ensuring effective delivery to target skin cells. It is particularly beneficial for aging skin, helping to restore a more youthful appearance and improve overall skin quality. Clinical studies have shown significant improvements in skin firmness, elasticity, and hydration levels with regular use. The ingredient is well-tolerated by most skin types and can be incorporated into various skincare formulations, including serums, creams, and masks.
