Description
Acetyl Hexapeptide-8 is a synthetic peptide made up of a chain of six amino acids. Its molecular design allows it to act effectively in relaxing facial muscles, similarly to botulinum toxin but without invasive effects. This compound is widely used in anti-ageing cosmetics because of its ability to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines.
Hexapeptide-8 is synthesised from specific amino acids that mimic the structure and function of natural proteins in the skin. Its development is based on biotechnology research seeking less invasive, safer skin care solutions. It is Vegan-friendly.
Cosmetic Uses:
Hexapeptide-8 is known for its anti-ageing properties and is included in various cosmetic products, such as:
- Anti-ageing creams: Helps reduce wrinkles and fine lines around the eyes, forehead and other facial areas.
- Serums and ampoules: Used at higher concentrations to provide an immediate lifting and plumping effect.
- Lotions and gels: Improves skin texture and gives a smoother, firmer appearance.
- Face masks: Promotes facial muscle relaxation, contributing to smoother, more youthful skin.
It works effectively across a pH range of 3 to 8, making it compatible with various cosmetic formulations. It mixes well with other active ingredients and is compatible with most excipients used in cosmetics.
Additional benefits: Besides reducing wrinkles, it improves collagen elasticity and elastin activity, giving firmer, younger-looking skin.
Typical Dosage:
Daily care: 0.1% - 1.5%. This concentration is suitable for products such as creams and lotions applied daily.
To avoid premature product degradation, refrigerated storage between 2ºC and 8ºC is recommended.
