Myristoyl Hexapeptide-16 is a synthetic lipopeptide composed of a myristoyl group conjugated to a hexapeptide sequence. Designed for use in cosmetic formulations, it is valued for its potential to support the appearance of smoother and more resilient skin. Its structure facilitates integration into various topical products, making it suitable for applications targeting skin conditioning and visible texture improvement within global regulatory frameworks.
CAT No: CPC1698
Synonyms/Alias:Myristoyl Hexapeptide-16;Myristoyl Hexapeptide-16 USP/EP/BP;L-Lysine, N-(1-oxotetradecyl)-L-leucyl-L-lysyl-L-lysyl-L-alanyl-L-leucyl-
Mechanism of Action (MOA)
Myristoyl Hexapeptide-16 is a lipo-hexapeptide designed to enhance peptide penetration through lipid conjugation. This peptide interacts with skin cells by modulating cellular signaling pathways associated with extracellular matrix components. It may influence the expression of key proteins involved in skin structure, such as collagen and fibronectin, through biochemical signaling at the cellular level. The myristoyl group facilitates improved bioavailability, supporting optimal peptide delivery within topical cosmetic formulations.
Myristoyl Hexapeptide-16 can be incorporated into a variety of cosmetic formulations to enhance product offerings.
- Suitable for use in facial serums and emulsions- Compatible with lightweight lotions and creams- Can be added to eye contour products- Ideal for leave-on treatments such as overnight masks- May be included in targeted treatment concentrates- Applicable in both water-based and oil-in-water systems
