CAT No: CPC1672
Mechanism of Action (MOA)
Hexapeptide-2 is a synthetic signaling peptide composed of six amino acids. It interacts with melanocyte regulatory pathways by modulating the activity of microphthalmia-associated transcription factor (MITF), a key regulator in melanin synthesis. Through this pathway, Hexapeptide-2 helps influence the expression of enzymes involved in melanogenesis, supporting a balanced appearance of skin tone. Its activity is limited to cellular signaling, with no direct impact on cellular viability or proliferation.
Hexapeptide-2 is suitable for incorporation into a variety of cosmetic formulations.
- Facial serums and creams- Eye contour products- Daily moisturizers- Sheet masks and leave-on treatments- Targeted spot care formulations- Sun care and after-sun products
