SH-PENTAPEPTIDE-9 SP AMIDE

Description

SH-Pentapeptide-9 SP Amide is an innovative synthetic peptide designed for advanced skincare formulations. This small molecule consists of a specific sequence of five amino acids, engineered to target multiple aspects of skin health and appearance. Its primary function is to stimulate collagen production and enhance skin elasticity, addressing key concerns in anti-aging skincare.

The peptide works by penetrating the stratum corneum and signaling to fibroblasts, promoting the synthesis of structural proteins essential for skin firmness and resilience. Clinical studies have shown SH-Pentapeptide-9 SP Amide to be effective in reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, improving skin texture, and increasing overall skin firmness when used consistently over time.

This ingredient is typically incorporated into serums, creams, and other leave-on formulations at concentrations ranging from 0.5% to 2%. It demonstrates good stability in various pH environments and is compatible with a wide range of cosmetic ingredients. SH-Pentapeptide-9 SP Amide is well-tolerated by most skin types and can be effectively combined with other active ingredients such as antioxidants and hyaluronic acid for comprehensive skincare benefits.
