Mechanism of Action (MOA)

Heptapeptide, a synthetic bioactive peptide composed of seven amino acids, interacts with skin cells by modulating cellular signaling pathways involved in extracellular matrix (ECM) maintenance. It is known to influence the expression of key ECM components such as collagen and fibronectin by engaging specific cell surface receptors. This signaling may support the skin's structural integrity and overall appearance through biochemical communication, aligning with pathways associated with skin homeostasis and renewal.

Heptapeptide is suitable for incorporation into a variety of cosmetic formulations to enhance product offerings. - Facial serums and emulsions - Eye contour creams and gels - Lightweight lotions for daily use - Leave-on masks and overnight treatments - Specialized ampoules or booster concentrates - Sheet masks and hydrogel patches - Makeup primers with skincare benefits
