SH-OLIGOPEPTIDE-75 SH-OLIGOPEPTIDE-1

Description

SH-Oligopeptide-75 and SH-Oligopeptide-1 are synthetic peptides engineered to mimic naturally occurring growth factors in the skin. These biomimetic compounds are designed to target specific cellular processes involved in skin regeneration and repair.

SH-Oligopeptide-75, also known as Epidermal Growth Factor (EGF), is a small protein that stimulates cell growth and proliferation. It enhances epidermal turnover, promoting the formation of new skin cells and accelerating wound healing. This peptide also supports collagen and elastin production, contributing to improved skin elasticity and firmness.

SH-Oligopeptide-1, or Basic Fibroblast Growth Factor (bFGF), plays a crucial role in tissue repair and regeneration. It stimulates fibroblast proliferation and migration, leading to increased production of extracellular matrix components such as collagen and hyaluronic acid. This peptide also promotes angiogenesis, improving blood flow and nutrient delivery to skin cells.

Both peptides exhibit potent anti-aging properties, helping to reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and uneven skin tone. Their small molecular size allows for efficient penetration into the skin, maximizing their effectiveness. These ingredients are typically used in low concentrations in advanced skincare formulations targeting skin rejuvenation and repair.
