SH-HEPTAPEPTIDE-6 SP

Description

SH-HEPTAPEPTIDE-6 SP is an advanced synthetic peptide designed to target multiple aspects of skin aging and rejuvenation. This heptapeptide, composed of seven amino acids, is engineered to mimic the natural signaling molecules involved in skin repair and regeneration processes.

The peptide's primary function is to stimulate collagen production, particularly types I, III, and IV, which are crucial for maintaining skin elasticity and firmness. It also promotes the synthesis of hyaluronic acid, enhancing skin hydration and plumpness. SH-HEPTAPEPTIDE-6 SP has been shown to improve skin barrier function by increasing the production of essential lipids and proteins in the stratum corneum.

Clinical studies have demonstrated its efficacy in reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, improving skin texture, and enhancing overall skin tone. The peptide is well-tolerated by most skin types and can be incorporated into various skincare formulations, including serums, creams, and masks.

At typical concentrations of 2-5 ppm, SH-HEPTAPEPTIDE-6 SP exhibits significant anti-aging effects without causing irritation. Its stability in formulations and compatibility with other active ingredients make it a versatile component in advanced skincare products targeting mature skin.
