Snap-8, also known as Acetyl Octapeptide or Anti-Wrinkle Oligopeptide, is an extended analog of the hexapeptide Argireline. It has a unique molecular structure consisting of seven amino acids connected by peptide bonds and has high biological activity and skin permeability. This peptide substance does not exist in nature but is synthesized through advanced biotechnology. Its chemical formula is C41H70N16O16S and its molecular weight is 1075.18 g/mol. These fine molecular parameters ensure its stability and effectiveness in the skin. Our product has the appearance of white powder, which is easily soluble in water or other solvents and is convenient for flexible application in cosmetic formulations.

What is the function of snap-8?

Anti-aging and anti-wrinkle ingredients:

Snap-8 can significantly reduce the depth of wrinkles caused by facial expression muscle contraction, especially on the forehead and around the eyes. By simulating the N-terminus of the SNAP-25 protein, it competes for the site of SNAP-25 in the melting bubble complex, thereby affecting the formation of the complex, thereby weakening muscle contraction and preventing the formation of wrinkles. This mechanism makes snap-8 a safer, cheaper, and gentler alternative to botulinum toxin.

Boosts collagen synthesis:

It also encourages skin cells to produce more collagen and elastin, two proteins that are key to skin's firmness and elasticity. By replenishing these two proteins, it helps restore the skin's youthful appearance and natural glow.

Moisturizing raw materials:

It can improve the texture of the skin, making it smoother and more delicate. It can also improve the skin's moisturizing ability, reduce water loss, and keep the skin hydrated.
