TRIPEPTIDE-7 SH-DECAPEPTIDE-9

Description

Tripeptide-7 and SH-Decapeptide-9 are advanced peptide complexes utilized in cutting-edge skincare and haircare formulations. Tripeptide-7, composed of three amino acids, is known for its ability to stimulate collagen production and improve skin elasticity. It works by mimicking the body's natural peptide signals, promoting cellular renewal and enhancing the skin's structural integrity.

SH-Decapeptide-9, a longer chain of ten amino acids with a sulfhydryl group, is particularly effective in hair care applications. This peptide penetrates the hair shaft, strengthening the internal structure and improving overall hair health. It has been shown to reduce hair breakage, increase shine, and enhance manageability.

Both peptides exhibit excellent stability in various formulations and are compatible with a wide range of cosmetic ingredients. They are typically used in concentrations between 0.5% to 2% for optimal efficacy. These peptides are well-tolerated by most skin types and have not shown significant adverse reactions in clinical studies. Their synergistic effects make them valuable components in anti-aging skincare products and hair-strengthening treatments, offering tangible benefits in texture improvement and overall appearance of both skin and hair.
