SH-OLIGOPEPTIDE-91 SP

Description

SH-Oligopeptide-91 SP is an innovative synthetic peptide designed for advanced skincare formulations. This biomimetic peptide is engineered to mimic the activity of natural growth factors in the skin, specifically targeting cellular regeneration and repair processes.

The peptide's structure allows it to penetrate the skin's outer layers effectively, where it can interact with cellular receptors. Upon binding, SH-Oligopeptide-91 SP initiates a cascade of signaling events that promote collagen and elastin production, crucial proteins for maintaining skin elasticity and firmness.

In vitro studies have demonstrated the peptide's ability to stimulate fibroblast activity, potentially leading to improved skin texture and reduced appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Additionally, SH-Oligopeptide-91 SP has shown promise in enhancing skin barrier function, which may contribute to better hydration and protection against environmental stressors.

Formulations containing this peptide are typically well-tolerated, making it suitable for various skin types. However, as with all active ingredients, patch testing is recommended before widespread use. SH-Oligopeptide-91 SP is often incorporated into serums, creams, and other leave-on skincare products at concentrations determined by clinical efficacy studies.
