Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1 99% White Powder C33H60N6O6 Senwayer

Palmitoyl tripeptide-1 is a synthetic fatty acid-linked peptide that can help repair visible skin damage and strengthen skin’s underlying supportive elements. It’s categorized as a “messenger peptide” because of its ability to “tell” skin how to look better, specifically regarding reducing signs of sun damage like wrinkles and rough texture.

Some research has shown that this peptide has similar anti-aging benefits to retinol. (You can use both ingredients for even greater benefits.)

Palmitoyl tripeptide-1 also goes by the names pal-GHK and palmitoyl oligopeptide. It appears as a white powder in its raw material form.

In 2018, the Cosmetic Ingredient Review Expert Panel looked at personal care products using palmitoyl tripeptide-1 between 0.0000001% to 0.001% and deemed it was safe in current practice of use and concentration. As with most lab-made peptides, a little goes a long way.

Applying palmitoyl tripeptide-1 directly to your skin tells the cells to make more collagen, stimulating new collagen production. It requires at least one month or more to begin to see visible changes from new collagen with maximum results visible after 3 to 4 months. Erin Gilbert, MD, FAAD, Ph.D., and board-certified dermatologist and neuroscientist, continues: "Peptides can be included in serums, moisturizers, and masks," Gilbert explains. "They are also included in some topical serums used after micro-needling or superficial laser procedures to increase the penetration of the peptide and help the skin recover from the procedure."

Here are the specific benefits of palmitoyl tripeptide-1 to your skin:

1. FIRMS THE SKIN AND AIDS IN COLLAGEN PRODUCTION
As we age, collagen in the skin breaks down into peptides, which send signals to skin cells, informing them to make more collagen to replace what was lost. Topical application of peptides increases this signalling, thereby increasing new collagen production.

2. REDUCES THE APPEARANCE OF FINE LINES
By stimulating collagen production, peptides help to make the skin appear more plump and youthful.

3. STRENGTHENS THE SKIN BARRIER
Peptides increase cell activity and repair the skin’s natural barrier, allowing it to retain water more efficiently and protect the body against foreign substances.

4. LOCKS IN HYDRATION
As you age, collagen production declines and over time, collagen level in the skin decreases. Collagen aids the skin in retaining moisture; hence, the loss of collagen also causes dehydration in the skin. Using collagen-stimulating peptides, such as palmitoyl tripeptide-1, thereby boost skin hydration by boosting collagen production.

5. REDUCES INFLAMMATION
Antioxidants found in peptides help calm and soothe your skin, leading to less inflammation.

6. SMOOTHS OUT COMPLEXION
Increased collagen also means clearer, more even skin, too.

SAFETY: IS PALMITOYL TRIPEPTIDE-1 SAFE?
The CIR Expert Panel concluded that peptides, such as palmitoyl tripeptide-1, are safe in cosmetics and self-care products. Environmental Working Group (EWG) currently scores palmitoyl tripeptide-1 as “1” or “low hazard.”

Overall, peptides, such as palmitoyl tripeptide-1, mimic what already exists in the human body and research on peptides’ impact on the skin shows limited to no skin irritation. In terms of toxicity caused by peptides, there is no published research to document any known toxicity.
