Function of myristoyl pentapeptide-7 in skin and eyelash

2024-07-09

Introduction 

Myristoyl pentapeptide-7, a cosmetic peptide, is a synthetic peptide containing lysine and threonine residues, which is classified as signal peptide that has many positive effects for the cosmetic field. Myristoyl pentapeptide-7 can promote the production of collagen, elastic fibers, polysaccharide and hyaluronic acid to improve the content of water in the skin to reduce the wrinkles and lines. In addition, it can directly stimulate keratin genes to make the eyelash longer, which can make someone who has the long eyelash look more temperamental and charming. So the myristoyl pentapeptide-7 is expected to be added into the cosmetic products as a raw material to make it work.

Action and function of anti-aging and eyelash growth

Proper skin care is important for health and cosmetic reasons. Skin is a vital organ and a breakdown in the skin can adversely affect the skin's function as a barrier and make it susceptible to infection. So we should pay more attention to our skin. The Myristoyl pentapeptide-7, easily penetrate through the stratum corneum gap into the dermis, is an active ingredient added into the skin care agents to resist wrinkles and lines to achieve the goal of anti-aging by promoting the production and synthesis of collagen, elastic fibers, polysaccharide and hyaluronic acid.

In addition, myristoyl pentapeptide-7 has another function of promotion of eyelash growth. The main component of eyelashes is keratin, which is composed of amino acids. Myristoyl pentapeptide-17, directly acts on the keratin protein gene and promotes the production of keratin protein, which can promote the growth of eyelashes and make it more thick and slender.

Application

Owing to the special properties of myristoyl pentapeptide-7, it can not only be applied in the skin care product to improve the problems of wrinkles and lines, but also can be added into the mascara to promote the growth of eyelash, which may make somebody feel better. Therefore it attracts much attention of most researchers.
