SH-OLIGOPEPTIDE-1 SR-SEA RAVEN POLYPEPTIDE-1

Description

SH-Oligopeptide-1 SR-Sea Raven Polypeptide-1 is an innovative biomimetic peptide designed to address multiple skin and hair concerns. This compound is a synthetic version of the epidermal growth factor (EGF) found in sea ravens, engineered to enhance cellular communication and stimulate regenerative processes.

The peptide works by binding to specific receptors on skin and hair follicle cells, activating signaling pathways that promote cell proliferation, differentiation, and migration. In skincare, it can accelerate wound healing, reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and improve overall skin texture and tone. For haircare applications, it may stimulate hair growth by prolonging the anagen phase of the hair cycle and enhancing follicle vitality.

SH-Oligopeptide-1 SR-Sea Raven Polypeptide-1 demonstrates excellent stability in various formulations and can penetrate the stratum corneum effectively. Its molecular weight and structure allow for targeted delivery to epidermal and dermal layers. Typical concentration ranges for this ingredient are 10-100 ppm in leave-on products. Clinical studies have shown promising results in improving skin elasticity, reducing transepidermal water loss, and promoting a more youthful appearance with consistent use.
