Myristoyl Tetrapeptide-12

Basic Description

​​​​​​​​​​Structure and function ​:
Myristoyl Tetrapeptide-12 is a synthetic lipopeptide composed of a tetrapeptide sequence covalently linked to a myristoyl group (C14 fatty acid). , which works through the following mechanisms:
1. ​​Promote collagen synthesis​ ​：Activate fibroblasts, stimulate ​Collagen Type I and ​Elastin​ production, improving skin firmness and elasticity.
2. ​​Anti-inflammatory repair ​：Inhibit the release of inflammatory factors (such as IL-6, TNF-α), relieve skin sensitivity and photoaging damage.
3. ​​Barrier strengthening​ ​：Promote epidermal lipid synthesis and reduce transepidermal water loss (TEWL).

​ ​Application Areas​ ​:
• ​​Cosmetics ​: Anti-aging essence, repair cream, eye cream.
• ​In vitro studies ​：Study on skin elasticity regulation model, collagen metabolism and inflammatory pathway.
