SH-POLYPEPTIDE-110

Description

SH-POLYPEPTIDE-110 is an innovative biomimetic peptide designed to target hair follicle stem cells and promote hair growth. This synthetic peptide is engineered to mimic the structure and function of naturally occurring growth factors in the body, particularly those involved in hair regeneration processes.

The peptide works by stimulating the proliferation and differentiation of hair follicle stem cells, which are crucial for initiating new hair growth cycles. It also enhances the production of extracellular matrix proteins, improving the overall health of the hair follicle environment.

SH-POLYPEPTIDE-110 has shown promising results in in vitro studies, demonstrating its ability to increase the expression of key proteins involved in hair growth, such as keratin and collagen. Clinical trials have reported improvements in hair density, thickness, and growth rate when the peptide is incorporated into topical formulations.

This ingredient is particularly beneficial for individuals experiencing hair thinning or loss due to factors such as aging, hormonal changes, or stress. It is typically used in leave-on treatments, serums, and scalp solutions at concentrations ranging from 0.5% to 2%, depending on the specific formulation and desired effects.
