NICOTIANA BENTHAMIANA SH-POLYPEPTIDE-15 HEXAPEPTIDE-40

Description

NICOTIANA BENTHAMIANA SH-POLYPEPTIDE-15 HEXAPEPTIDE-40 is an innovative bioengineered peptide complex derived from the Nicotiana benthamiana plant, specifically designed for advanced skincare applications. This unique ingredient combines two potent peptides: SH-Polypeptide-15 and Hexapeptide-40, produced through a novel plant-based biotechnology process.

SH-Polypeptide-15 is a growth factor analogue that stimulates collagen production and enhances skin cell renewal. Hexapeptide-40 is known for its ability to improve skin barrier function and reduce inflammation. Together, these peptides work synergistically to address multiple signs of aging and skin stress.

Clinical studies have shown that this complex can significantly improve skin firmness, elasticity, and hydration levels within 4-8 weeks of regular use. It has also demonstrated efficacy in reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, as well as improving overall skin texture and tone.

The plant-based production method of this ingredient ensures high purity and consistency, while also being more sustainable than traditional peptide synthesis. It is suitable for use in various skincare formulations, including serums, creams, and masks, typically at concentrations of 1-5%.
