SNAP-81253115-75-1

SNAP-8 (also known as acetylated octapeptide-3) is an 8-amino acid synthetic peptide commonly used in cosmetics as a wrinkle-reducing ingredient. Typically appearing as white powder or liquid, it boasts over 98% purity and a 2-year shelf life. Store in a cool, dry place, protected from light and sealed. By mimicking the N-terminal fragment of SNAP-25 protein, SNAP-8 competitively inhibits the formation of fusion complexes that trigger neurotransmitter release. This mechanism reduces facial muscle contractions and minimizes wrinkle depth, making it particularly effective for forehead and eye area treatments.
In skincare applications: As a widely popular anti-aging ingredient, it is commonly added to serums, lotions, creams, and other skincare products, suitable for most skin types. The typical concentration ranges from 3% to 10%. This ingredient effectively reduces forehead wrinkles, crow's feet, and other expression lines.
Laboratory research applications: This substance is a commonly used raw material in anti-aging peptide research for cosmetics. Researchers will utilize it to study muscle relaxation and anti-wrinkle mechanisms, and conduct controlled studies simulating the effects of botulinum toxin. However, most products are currently only used for in vitro laboratory research.
