SH-OLIGOPEPTIDE-86

Description

SH-Oligopeptide-86 is a synthetic peptide engineered to target specific skin concerns and promote overall skin health. This innovative ingredient belongs to the family of signal peptides, designed to mimic naturally occurring peptides in the human body. Its primary function is to stimulate collagen production and enhance cellular communication within the skin.

The peptide's unique amino acid sequence allows it to penetrate the skin's outer layers effectively, reaching deeper dermal tissues where it can exert its beneficial effects. SH-Oligopeptide-86 works by activating fibroblasts, the cells responsible for producing collagen and elastin. This activation leads to increased synthesis of these crucial structural proteins, resulting in improved skin firmness, elasticity, and overall texture.

Additionally, SH-Oligopeptide-86 has been shown to possess antioxidant properties, helping to protect skin cells from oxidative stress and environmental damage. Its ability to promote skin renewal and repair makes it a valuable ingredient in anti-aging formulations. Clinical studies have demonstrated its efficacy in reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, improving skin tone, and enhancing overall skin radiance when used consistently in skincare products.
