Mechanism of Action (MOA)
Acetyl tetrapeptide-3 is a biomimetic signaling peptide composed of four amino acids. It is designed to interact with cellular receptors in the extracellular matrix, supporting the activation of key proteins involved in the anchoring of hair and skin structures. By modulating cellular communication pathways, acetyl tetrapeptide-3 may help optimize the environment for extracellular matrix integrity and contribute to the maintenance of normal biological functions in cosmetic applications.
Acetyl tetrapeptide-3 is suitable for incorporation into various cosmetic formulations targeting hair and scalp care.
- Add to leave-in hair serums and tonics- Incorporate into scalp treatment lotions- Use in rinse-off or leave-on conditioners- Include in hair masks and balms- Formulate in pre-shampoo scalp treatments- Compatible with water-based systems
