Myristoyl Octapeptide-1 is a synthetic lipopeptide composed of eight amino acids conjugated with myristic acid. This ingredient is designed for use in cosmetic formulations targeting skin and hair care applications. Its structure enables enhanced skin penetration, supporting product concepts related to conditioning, smoothing, and the maintenance of a healthy appearance. Myristoyl Octapeptide-1 is suitable for inclusion in serums, creams, and hair care products within global regulatory frameworks.
Mechanism of Action (MOA)
Myristoyl Octapeptide-1 is a synthetic signal peptide conjugated with a myristoyl group to enhance skin penetration. Upon topical application, it interacts with cellular receptors in the epidermis, mimicking natural growth factor signaling pathways. This peptide is designed to support key biochemical processes associated with skin's extracellular matrix by modulating communication between keratinocytes and fibroblasts, thereby influencing the expression of matrix proteins and contributing to optimized skin condition.
Myristoyl Octapeptide-1 is suitable for incorporation into a variety of cosmetic formulations.
- Recommended for use in facial creams, serums, and lotions- Can be added to under-eye and targeted treatment products- Compatible with water-based and emulsion systems- Suitable for daily skincare and anti-aging product lines- Typically used at concentrations of 0.5-2%
