Peptides (Matrixyl, copper peptides, palmitoyl tripeptide-5)
Category: Active ingredient
Brief description: Peptides are short chains of amino acids that can help stimulate collagen production, improve skin elasticity, and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
Benefits: Anti-aging, skin firming, and skin repair.
Skin type suitability/concerns: Suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin.
Target audience: People looking to address signs of aging, loss of skin elasticity, or skin damage.
Chemical composition: Short chains of amino acids connected by peptide bonds.
Physical aspect: Colorless to pale yellow liquids, depending on the specific peptide.
Compatibility: Compatible with most cosmetic ingredients, but some peptides may be sensitive to high temperatures or extreme pH values.
Concentration: Typically used at concentrations of 1-5% in cosmetic formulations.
Side effects/adverse reactions: Generally well-tolerated, with low risk of irritation or adverse reactions.
Regulatory status: Generally recognized as safe, but specific regulatory status may vary depending on the specific peptide.
Sustainability/ethical considerations: Can be synthesized or derived from natural sources; no significant sustainability or ethical concerns.
