SH-OLIGOPEPTIDE-92 SP

Description

SH-OLIGOPEPTIDE-92 SP is an innovative synthetic peptide designed for advanced skincare formulations. This biomimetic peptide is engineered to target specific cellular pathways involved in skin regeneration and repair. Its unique structure allows for enhanced penetration into the epidermis, where it can exert its effects on skin cells.

The peptide functions by stimulating collagen and elastin production, crucial proteins for maintaining skin elasticity and firmness. It also promotes the synthesis of hyaluronic acid, a natural moisturizing factor that helps retain skin hydration. SH-OLIGOPEPTIDE-92 SP has been shown to improve skin texture, reduce the appearance of fine lines, and enhance overall skin tone.

In vitro studies have demonstrated its ability to activate fibroblasts, the cells responsible for producing structural proteins in the skin. This activation leads to increased extracellular matrix production, contributing to improved skin density and resilience. The peptide also exhibits antioxidant properties, helping to protect skin cells from oxidative stress and environmental damage.

Typically used in concentrations ranging from 0.001% to 0.1%, SH-OLIGOPEPTIDE-92 SP is compatible with various skincare formulations, including serums, creams, and masks.
