Palmitoyl Tripeptide-5 Description

Palmitoyl Tripeptide-5 is a synthetic, patented signal peptide made from the amino acids lysine and valine combined with the fatty acid palmitic acid, which aids penetration. It has a visible impact on skin’s firmness and also helps smooth the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, including deep wrinkles.

Peer-reviewed published research has shown that this peptide helps support several components of what’s known as skin’s extracellular matrix, including collagen and hyaluronic acid, so skin looks smoother and more youthful. It can also help inhibit environmentally-generated (as in sun exposure) damaging enzymes in skin that degrade its firmness and resilience.

Use levels of palmitoyl tripeptide-5 in cosmetics range from 1–3% as a blend supplied in a water and glycerin base.
