R-(OLIGOPEPTIDE-133 SH-POLYPEPTIDE-11)

Description

R-(OLIGOPEPTIDE-133 SH-POLYPEPTIDE-11) is an innovative biomimetic peptide complex designed for advanced haircare formulations. This dual-action ingredient combines two potent peptides that work synergistically to target hair follicle health and promote hair growth. Oligopeptide-133 is a synthetic peptide that mimics the action of natural growth factors, stimulating keratinocyte proliferation and enhancing hair follicle function. SH-Polypeptide-11, derived from human fibroblast cells, is a recombinant human basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) that supports cell renewal and tissue regeneration.

When applied topically, this peptide complex penetrates the scalp and hair follicles, activating dormant follicles and extending the anagen (growth) phase of the hair cycle. It also strengthens existing hair strands by improving the structural integrity of the hair shaft. Clinical studies have shown that regular use of formulations containing R-(OLIGOPEPTIDE-133 SH-POLYPEPTIDE-11) can lead to increased hair density, reduced hair loss, and improved overall hair quality. This ingredient is particularly beneficial for individuals experiencing age-related hair thinning or those with compromised hair follicle function.
