CAT No: CPC1671
Mechanism of Action (MOA)
Hexapeptide-42 is a synthetic signal peptide designed to interact with cellular communication pathways in the epidermis. By mimicking naturally occurring peptide sequences, it may modulate the activity of keratinocytes through targeted engagement with specific cell surface receptors. This interaction can influence intracellular signaling cascades, supporting the skin's physiological processes involved in maintaining optimal barrier function and homeostasis. Hexapeptide-42 is suitable for use in formulations targeting improved skin conditioning.
Hexapeptide-42 can be incorporated into various cosmetic formulations to support advanced skincare product development.
- Suitable for use in facial serums and emulsions- Can be added to lightweight lotions and creams- Compatible with gel-based and aqueous systems- Appropriate for inclusion in sheet masks and leave-on treatments- May be blended into eye contour products- Recommended for use in daily skincare routines
