SH-POLYPEPTIDE-7 SH-OLIGOPEPTIDE-1

Description

SH-Polypeptide-7 and SH-Oligopeptide-1 are advanced biomimetic peptides that have gained significant attention in the skincare and haircare industries due to their potent regenerative properties. These synthetic peptides are engineered to mimic natural growth factors found in human skin and hair follicles.

SH-Polypeptide-7, also known as Sh-Heptapeptide-1, is a small protein fragment that stimulates collagen production and enhances skin elasticity. It works by activating fibroblasts, the cells responsible for producing structural proteins in the skin. This peptide has been shown to improve skin firmness and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

SH-Oligopeptide-1, or EGF (Epidermal Growth Factor), is a chain of 53 amino acids that plays a crucial role in cell regeneration and wound healing. It promotes the proliferation and migration of keratinocytes, the primary cell type in the epidermis. This peptide accelerates skin renewal, improves skin texture, and aids in the repair of damaged skin.

Both peptides demonstrate excellent stability in formulations and can penetrate the skin effectively. They are often used in anti-aging serums, moisturizers, and hair growth products due to their ability to stimulate cellular renewal and promote overall skin and hair health.
