What is Nonapeptide-1?

Cosmetics materials Nonapeptide-1, or whitening nonapeptide or Melitane, is a whitening biomimetic peptide containing nine amino acids. It is mainly used in skin whitening and freckle removal and belongs to the class of melanin-inhibiting peptides. Our Nonapeptide-1 usually exists in white or off-white powder, with good water solubility and stability. It has a moderate molecular weight and is easily absorbed by the skin, ensuring a highly effective whitening effect. It is a naturally occurring amino acid combination with extremely high safety and biocompatibility. It is non-cytotoxic and does not cause any irritation or allergic reaction to the skin. At the same time, it can also synergize with other skin care ingredients such as vitamin C and hyaluronic acid to enhance the overall skin care effect.

What are the functions of Nonapeptide-1?

1. Whitening and clearing speckles raw materials

• Nine peptide-1 reduces the production and deposition of melanin by inhibiting the binding of MSH (melanocyte-stimulating hormone) to MC1 receptors. This mechanism fundamentally solves the problems of dull skin tone and spots. Long-term use of skin care products containing Nonapeptide-1 can clearly show that the skin tone becomes even brighter, and the spots gradually fade.

2. Anti-aging and anti-wrinkle raw materials

• It can also promote the synthesis and secretion of collagen, and enhance the firmness and elasticity of the skin. Collagen is the main structural protein of the skin. As we age, the synthesis rate of collagen gradually slows down, causing the skin to sag and wrinkles to form. It can accelerate the production of collagen and make the skin rejuvenated.

3. Barrier repair

• It also has the function of repairing the skin barrier. It can promote the regeneration and differentiation of stratum corneum cells, enhance the barrier function of the skin, and reduce the damage to the skin by the external environment. This function is especially important for sensitive skin and damaged skin, and can help the skin quickly return to a healthy state.

4. Anti-oxidant raw material

• Nine peptide-1 also has a certain antioxidant effect. It can remove free radicals and reduce the damage of oxidative stress to skin cells, thereby delaying the aging process of the skin. This function makes it play an important role in anti-aging skin care products.
