PENTAPEPTIDE-31

Description

Pentapeptide-31 is an innovative synthetic peptide designed for advanced haircare formulations. This small protein fragment consists of five specific amino acids carefully sequenced to target hair follicle function and promote healthier hair growth.

Pentapeptide-31 works by stimulating keratin production in the hair follicle, enhancing the strength and resilience of individual hair strands. It also helps to regulate the hair growth cycle, potentially extending the anagen (growth) phase and delaying the onset of the telogen (resting) phase.

Studies have shown that Pentapeptide-31 can increase hair density and thickness, making it particularly beneficial for individuals experiencing hair thinning or loss. It may also improve the overall quality of hair, enhancing shine and manageability.

In haircare formulations, Pentapeptide-31 is typically used in leave-on treatments such as serums, lotions, or scalp treatments. Its small molecular size allows for better penetration into the scalp and hair follicles. The ingredient is generally well-tolerated and can be incorporated into various hair types and textures.

While results may vary, consistent use of products containing Pentapeptide-31 over several weeks to months is typically recommended for optimal benefits.
