OLIGOPEPTIDE-69

Description

Oligopeptide-69 is an innovative synthetic peptide designed for advanced skincare applications. This small chain of amino acids is engineered to target specific cellular processes related to skin aging and repair. Its primary function is to stimulate collagen production and enhance skin elasticity, making it a valuable ingredient in anti-aging formulations.

The peptide works by mimicking natural signaling molecules in the skin, activating fibroblasts to increase the synthesis of structural proteins like collagen and elastin. This process helps to improve skin firmness and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Oligopeptide-69 also demonstrates antioxidant properties, offering protection against free radical damage and environmental stressors.

In skincare formulations, Oligopeptide-69 is typically used in concentrations ranging from 0.001% to 0.1%. It is compatible with a wide range of cosmetic ingredients and can be incorporated into various product types, including serums, creams, and masks. The peptide is stable in formulations with a pH range of 4.0 to 8.0 and is heat-stable up to 40°C. Clinical studies have shown significant improvements in skin texture and elasticity with regular use of products containing Oligopeptide-69 over a 12-week period.
