Peptides
Peptides are one of the most important ingredients in advanced skin and hair care. They consist of small chains of amino acids, which are the basic building blocks of proteins such as collagen, elastin, and keratin. This makes them extremely significant in the cosmetic context, where they are used to address many skin and hair problems, from aging to acne and pigmentation.
What makes peptides so unique is their versatility and ability to act on different levels. They are not only crucial for the health and appearance of the skin and hair, but also play a key role in skincare products around the eyes, improving microcirculation and preventing elastin loss.

Peptides such as Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1 and Palmitoyl Tripeptide-38 are especially valued for their anti-wrinkle properties by stimulating the synthesis of collagen and glycosaminoglycans, which are key components of the skin matrix. Tripeptide-10 Citrulline mimics the action of proteoglycans (decorin), regulating collagen fiber formation, which is crucial for maintaining a youthful skin appearance.
Some peptides, such as L-Glutathione Reduced, have brightening properties due to their ability to inhibit tyrosinase activity - the enzyme responsible for melanin production, which is responsible for skin pigmentation. This is particularly important in products designed to combat discolorations and improve even skin tone.
Peptides are also valuable in the context of hair care. Acetyl Tetrapeptide-3 and Myristoyl Pentapeptide-17, for example, are known for their potential to repair hair follicle cells, which translates into stimulating healthy hair growth.
