Myristoyl Pentapeptide-16 is a synthetic lipopeptide composed of a myristoyl group conjugated to a five-amino-acid peptide sequence. Utilized in cosmetic formulations, it is designed to support the maintenance of skin's appearance by enhancing conditioning and texture. Its amphiphilic structure facilitates integration into various delivery systems, making it suitable for inclusion in skin care products targeting improved skin feel and overall formulation performance.
CAT No: CPC1639
Mechanism of Action (MOA)
Myristoyl Pentapeptide-16 is a synthetic signal peptide conjugated with a myristoyl fatty acid chain to enhance skin penetration. This peptide is designed to interact with cellular signaling pathways by mimicking natural skin peptides, thereby supporting the regulation of extracellular matrix components. Through modulation of key signaling cascades, it contributes to the maintenance of skin's structural proteins, such as collagen, without directly inducing their synthesis. Suitable for advanced cosmetic formulations.
Myristoyl Pentapeptide-16 can be incorporated into a variety of topical cosmetic formulations to enhance product offerings.
- Suitable for use in facial serums and creams- Can be added to eye contour products- Compatible with leave-on masks and overnight treatments- Appropriate for lightweight lotions and emulsions- May be included in targeted treatment concentrates- Stable in both water-based and oil-in-water systems
