NICOTIANA BENTHAMIANA HEXAPEPTIDE-40 SH-POLYPEPTIDE-6

Description

NICOTIANA BENTHAMIANA HEXAPEPTIDE-40 SH-POLYPEPTIDE-6 is an innovative bioengineered peptide derived from the Nicotiana benthamiana plant, specifically designed for advanced skincare applications. This hexapeptide is a synthetic analog of human growth factors, engineered to mimic the skin's natural regenerative processes.

The peptide works by stimulating collagen and elastin production, promoting cellular turnover, and enhancing the skin's natural repair mechanisms. It has been shown to improve skin firmness, reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and enhance overall skin texture and tone. The SH-POLYPEPTIDE-6 component is particularly effective in supporting skin barrier function and hydration.

Clinical studies have demonstrated its efficacy in improving skin elasticity by up to 15% after four weeks of consistent use. The ingredient is suitable for various skincare formulations, including serums, creams, and targeted treatments. It is well-tolerated by most skin types and can be incorporated into anti-aging, regenerative, and protective skincare regimens.

As a plant-based alternative to traditional growth factors, this peptide offers a sustainable and ethically sourced option for advanced skincare formulations, aligning with the growing demand for bio-engineered cosmeceuticals.
