SH-OLIGOPEPTIDE-1 SH-POLYPEPTIDE-7 DIPEPTIDE-19

Description

SH-Oligopeptide-1, SH-Polypeptide-7, and Dipeptide-19 are advanced peptide complexes utilized in cutting-edge skincare and haircare formulations. These bioactive molecules are engineered to mimic naturally occurring growth factors and signaling proteins in the skin and hair follicles.

SH-Oligopeptide-1, also known as EGF (Epidermal Growth Factor), stimulates cell proliferation and renewal, promoting skin regeneration and wound healing. It enhances collagen and elastin production, potentially reducing the appearance of fine lines and improving skin elasticity.

SH-Polypeptide-7, or human oligopeptide-7, is a synthetic peptide that mimics thymosin β4. It supports tissue repair, reduces inflammation, and promotes cellular migration, contributing to improved skin texture and tone.

Dipeptide-19 is a small peptide that inhibits neurotransmitter release, potentially reducing muscle contractions that lead to expression lines. It may offer a non-invasive alternative to neuromodulators for addressing dynamic wrinkles.

When combined, these peptides work synergistically to address multiple aspects of skin aging and hair health. They are often incorporated into serums, creams, and hair treatments at low concentrations due to their potency and ability to penetrate the skin barrier.
