What Are Beauty Peptides?

Peptides have dominated innovative and high-end cosmetics for their incredible skin care efficacy in recent times. The makeup uses of peptides are not limited to the initial basic ingredients but also to ultra-technological solutions to skin care. They can be used to encourage collagen and elastin to release and hence firm the skin and make it elasticity and it can be used for anti-ageing, whitening, sun protection and even hair growth. Alfa Chemistry has keenly noticed the increasing demand for health and beauty among consumers, and has been deeply developing our cosmetic peptide product line over the years, continuously expanding our product portfolio.

How Beauty Peptides Work and Their Benefits to the Skin

In the context of skincare, beauty peptides act as signaling molecules, interacting with cellular receptors to stimulate specific biological processes. This can include:

Promote the Production of Collagen and Elastin

Beauty peptides enhance the firmness and elasticity of the skin by stimulating the synthesis of collagen and elastin in skin cells.

Anti-aging and Anti-Wrinkle Effects

Reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles by improving skin texture and elasticity. For example, hexapeptide-48 HCl has attracted attention for its anti-wrinkle effect.

Antioxidant Effect

There are beauty peptides like copper peptides that could trap free radicals and minimize the skin's damage from oxidative stress.

Repair Damaged Skin

They can also act to repair and regenerate tissues. It has been proven that oligopeptide-21 can heal damaged skin cells and increase the water-holding capacity of the skin.

Whitening and Freckle Removal

Beauty peptides reduce pigmentation and even achieve freckle removal by inhibiting the production of melanin.

Improving Skin Barrier Function

For instance, oligopeptide-71 activates the WNT signaling pathway and regulates the production of skin barrier proteins to boost skin barrier function.

Anti-Inflammatory Effects

Some beauty peptides also have anti-inflammatory properties and can reduce skin inflammation. For example, pentapeptide-16 can inhibit the expression of UV-induced inflammatory cytokines, thereby reducing skin inflammation.

A Wide Range of Cosmetic Peptide Portfolios: From Whitening to Hair Growth

Cosmetic peptides have emerged as powerful ingredients in skincare and hair care formulations, offering targeted solutions for a variety of concerns. Here's a glimpse into the diverse world of cosmetic peptides.

Mechanisms:

Inhibiting melanin production
Promoting skin cell turnover and exfoliation

Examples:

Hexapeptide: Promotes skin cell renewal and stratum corneum shedding.
Tetrapeptide: Inhibits MSH (melanin-stimulating hormone) and prevents melanin transfer.

Whitening/Brightening Peptides

Target: Hyperpigmentation, dark spots, uneven skin tone

Mechanisms:

Relaxing facial muscles
Stimulating collagen production

Examples:

Acetyl Hexapeptide-8 (Argireline): Mimics the effects of Botox.
Palmitoyl Pentapeptide-4 (Matrixyl): Boosts collagen synthesis.

Anti-Wrinkle Peptides

Target: Fine lines, wrinkles, and expression lines

Mechanisms:

Enhancing collagen and elastin production
Improving skin hydration and barrier function
Antioxidant properties

Examples:

Copper Tripeptide-1 (GHK-Cu): Promotes wound healing and collagen synthesis.
Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7: Protects against oxidative stress.

Anti-Aging Peptides

Target: Loss of firmness, elasticity, and overall skin aging

Mechanisms:

Accelerating wound healing and tissue regeneration
Soothing inflammation

Examples:

Palmitoyl Tripeptide-5: Stimulates cell proliferation and migration.
Oligopeptide-24: Improves skin barrier function and hydration.

Skin Repair Peptides

Target: Damaged skin, acne scars, and other skin irritations

Mechanisms:

Stimulating hair follicle growth
Strengthening hair roots
Improving scalp health

Examples:

Copper Tripeptide-1 (GHK-Cu): Supports hair follicle health.
Acetyl Tetrapeptide-3: Promotes hair growth and reduces hair loss.

Hair Growth Peptides

Target: Hair thinning, hair loss, and scalp conditions

FAQs About Our Cosmetic Peptides

How are the cosmetic peptides packaged and stored in most common cases?

We usually provide our peptides in powder or liquid form. Storage conditions: This is dependent on the type of peptide, but in general they are kept cool, dry and dark. We recommend following the storage instructions for our products specifically for maximum shelf life.

How can I ensure the quality and purity of the cosmetic peptides I purchase?

Alfa Chemistry, is one of the prominent cosmetic peptide raw material suppliers that have strict quality control. You can ask for our team's Certificate of Analysis (COA) to check the purity and identity of the peptide.

What is the typical usage concentration of cosmetic peptides?

It all depends on the type of peptide you want and the activity, typically peptide concentrations can be anywhere between 0.01% and 5%. But do consult our experts professional for your product to make sure the formula stays stable and active.

How do I choose the right cosmetic peptide for my cosmetic formulation?

This is a complex question. Overall, we would suggest you considering the kind of skin care concerns you're trying to solve (e.g. wrinkles, pigmentation, ageing), the efficacy and safety of different peptides, which is the target audience and cost you can afford, etc. To get more customized solutions for cosmetic formulation creation, get in touch with us.

Cutting-Edge Case Study of Beauty Peptides

Palmitoyl Pentapeptide-4

Palmitoyl pentapeptide-4, Matrixyl (sequence: Pal-Lys-Thr-Thr-Lys-Ser-OH, pal-KTTKS-OH), is a very specific small molecule bioactive peptide. In a placebo-controlled double-blind study, the pal-KTTKS (0.005%) formulation was applied to the right periocular area twice daily for 28 days. Optical profilometry showed that this method quantitatively reduced eye fold depth, eye fold thickness, and skin hardness by 18%, 37%, and 21%, respectively.

Tetrapeptide PKEK

Tetrapeptide PKEK, a tetrapeptide (sequence: Pro-Lys-Glu-Lys) whitening agents. In a randomized, double-blind, vehicle-controlled study, PKEK was used once a day for four weeks, and 10 healthy volunteers were tested and evaluated. PKEK treatment significantly suppressed UVB-induced upregulation of interleukin (IL)-1α, IL-6, IL-8, TNF-α, and genes encoding POMC and tyrosinase in skin areas pretreated with PKEK.
