Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of polypeptide synthesis, and in particular to a method for preparing palmitoyl tripeptide-8. Background Art

[0002] Palmitoyl Tripeptide-8 is a signaling peptide that promotes collagen synthesis (types I, II, and IV) and extracellular matrix protein production by increasing matrix cell activity, contributing to a more youthful and elastic appearance. When added to cosmetics, it helps replenish collagen, enhance facial elasticity, and significantly reduce wrinkles. It also boosts cell activity, increases skin hydration, enhances radiance, and improves complexion. By increasing skin hydration and retaining moisture, it leaves skin feeling soft and smooth, brightening the complexion from within and eliminating dullness.

[0003] Palmitoyl tripeptide-8 can inhibit melanin production in melanocytes by inhibiting tyrosinase activity and downregulating the mRNA levels of microphthalmia-associated transcription factor (MITF) and tyrosinase.
