AHK (Acetyl Hexapeptide-3) is a synthetic peptide composed of six amino acids, designed for use in cosmetic formulations targeting skin and scalp care. Recognized for its biomimetic properties, AHK supports the maintenance of skin and hair vitality by enhancing the appearance of suppleness and resilience. Suitable for incorporation into a range of topical products, AHK is compatible with global cosmetic regulations and aligns with contemporary formulation trends.
Mechanism of Action (MOA)
AHK is a biomimetic tripeptide composed of alanine, histidine, and lysine. It is believed to interact with cellular pathways involved in extracellular matrix regulation. AHK may support the expression of key matrix proteins by modulating cell signaling cascades, such as those related to fibroblast activity. Through these biochemical interactions, AHK can contribute to maintaining the structural integrity and physiological balance of the skin's extracellular environment.
AHK peptide is suitable for incorporation into a variety of topical cosmetic formulations.
- Facial serums targeting overall skin conditioning- Lightweight emulsions for daily skincare routines- Leave-on masks for enhanced skin care regimens- Eye contour creams and gels- Scalp care lotions and tonics- After-sun and post-procedure soothing products
