Mechanism of Action (MOA)
Carnosine is a naturally occurring dipeptide composed of β-alanine and L-histidine. It exhibits antioxidant properties by chelating metal ions and scavenging reactive oxygen species, thereby supporting the maintenance of cellular homeostasis. Additionally, carnosine may modulate cellular signaling pathways related to glycation and oxidative stress, contributing to the stabilization of proteins and cellular structures. These biochemical interactions help maintain the optimal environment for skin cell function.
Carnosine is suitable for incorporation into a variety of cosmetic formulations.
- Facial creams and lotions- Eye contour products- Serums and ampoules- Sheet masks and gel masks- After-sun care formulations- Leave-on and rinse-off hair care products
1. Emu oil in combination with other active ingredients for treating skin imperfections
2. Adipose tissue is a key organ for the beneficial effects of GLP-2 metabolic function
4. Cationic cell-penetrating peptides are potent furin inhibitors
