CPC Cosmetic Peptides

Cosmetic Peptides play a crucial role in the formulation of cosmetic products worldwide, especially in renowned international brands, primarily targeting anti-aging purposes. Each peptide used in these products possesses distinct cosmetic benefits, such as firming, anti-wrinkle, anti-irritation, and pigmentation reduction. A diverse array of peptides finds application in the field of cosmetics. These peptides have been classified into four primary groups based on their modes of action: signal peptides, carrier peptides, neurotransmitter peptides, and enzyme inhibitor peptides.

Signal Peptides:

Signal peptides exhibit multiple actions, particularly in stimulating the production of essential proteins like collagen, elastin, fibronectin, proteoglycan, and glycosaminoglycans. An example is palmitoyl pentapeptide-4, commonly known as Matrixyl, which was discovered in 1999. Comprising lysine, threonine, lysine, and serine in its sequence, Matrixyl has demonstrated the ability to stimulate the production of collagen I, III, and IV.

Carrier Peptides:

Carrier peptides are named for their role in transporting trace elements such as copper and magnesium to the skin. GHK-Cu, a peptide used for wound healing, has been commercialized and incorporated into a line of skincare products to promote a firmer and fuller appearance.

Neurotransmitter peptides :

Neurotransmitter peptides function by inhibiting the release of acetylcholine through various chemical interactions. Acetyl hexapeptide-3, known as Argireline, is a neurotransmitter peptide that topically relaxes muscles by inhibiting vesicle docking and preventing the formation of the SNARE complex. These neurotransmitter peptides have proven effective in reducing certain types of wrinkles.

Enzyme Inhibitor Peptides:

Enzyme inhibitor peptides impede the efficiency of key enzymes involved in various metabolic processes. Many of these peptides are derived from botanical sources. For example, certain peptides derived from rice proteins help retain collagen, while specific soy-derived peptides can assist in preventing pigmentation.

All these peptides play crucial roles in the cosmetics industry, leading to an increasing demand for high-quality cosmetic peptides.

What are cosmetic peptides?

Peptides are amino acids that are the building blocks of certain proteins needed by the skin, like collagen and elastin. Using a serum or moisturizer that contains peptides can lead to firmer, younger-looking skin and maybe even fewer breakouts.
