THIOCTOYL DIPEPTIDE-36 AMIDE PEG-2 ETHYLAMINE

Description

THIOCTOYL DIPEPTIDE-36 AMIDE PEG-2 ETHYLAMINE is an innovative peptide complex designed for advanced skincare formulations. This ingredient combines the antioxidant properties of alpha-lipoic acid with a dipeptide sequence and a PEGylated ethylamine component. The alpha-lipoic acid moiety, known as thioctoyl, provides powerful free radical scavenging capabilities, helping to protect skin cells from oxidative stress. The dipeptide-36 sequence is carefully selected for its potential to enhance skin barrier function and promote cellular repair mechanisms. The PEG-2 ethylamine portion improves the ingredient's solubility and skin penetration, facilitating more efficient delivery of the active components to target areas within the epidermis and dermis. This complex is particularly effective in addressing signs of aging, including fine lines, wrinkles, and uneven skin tone. It may also contribute to improved skin elasticity and firmness. The ingredient is suitable for incorporation into various skincare products, including serums, creams, and targeted treatments. Its multifunctional nature makes it a valuable addition to formulations aimed at comprehensive skin rejuvenation and protection against environmental stressors.
