Description
Palmitoyl Pentapeptide-4 Product Overview
Palmitoyl pentapeptide-4 is a white powder made of the five amino acids lysine–threonine–threonine–lysine–serine, linked to palmitic acid. The fatty acid chain improves skin penetration. The peptide is a fragment of collagen, and it acts as a signal that supports the skin’s own collagen production.
In addition, cosmetic formulators use it in anti-wrinkle serums, day and night creams and eye creams, usually as a ready-to-use solution at about 2–8% or as pure peptide at very low levels (parts per million). It combines well with Acetyl Hexapeptide-8, Copper Tripeptide-1 (GHK-Cu) and Hyaluronic Acid (Sodium Salt) in multi-peptide formulas.
Notably, related cosmetic actives in our range include Bakuchiol and Ceramide NP.
