What is Leuphasyl?

Leuphasyl (pentapeptide-18) is an innovative bioactive peptide, which is composed of five amino acids (Tyr-D-Ala-Gly-Phe-Leu) connected by peptide bonds. This five-amino acid peptide can penetrate the cells of the skin to achieve deep anti-aging and wrinkle removal and skin care purposes. It is an extremely rich anti-aging and wrinkle-removing raw material, and its mechanism of action is very similar to that of botulinum toxin, but its use is gentler and safer, and can be applied as a topical lotion instead of injection.

 The molecular weight of our Leuphasyl peptide is 569.7g/mol, with high purity (≥98%), chemical formula C29H39N5O7, and CAS number 64963-01-5. Its molecular structure enables it to efficiently bind to the enkephalin receptors outside the nerve cells, undergoing a series of biochemical reactions, and ultimately achieving an anti-wrinkle effect.

Functions and applications:

As a skin care ingredient rich in cosmetics materials, it has significant functions and wide applications:

1. Anti-aging and wrinkle removal raw materials: Leuphasyl can reduce facial wrinkles caused by facial movements by regulating signal transmission at the neuromuscular junction. It controls wrinkles at the source, and long-term use can significantly improve facial wrinkles such as fine lines around the eyes, crow's feet, and forehead wrinkles. It can be used in high-end skin care products, such as essences, lotions, etc., to provide all-round nourishment and protection for the skin, which can meet the needs of different age groups and skin types.
2. Promote collagen production: In addition to reducing wrinkles, it can also promote the synthesis of collagen and elastic fibers in the dermis of the skin, which can enhance the support of the skin and improve sagging. It can make the facial contour clearer and the skin plump and elastic. Therefore, it can also be used in some medical beauty projects, such as microneedles, water light needles and other professional beauty methods. They can directly introduce Leuphasyl into the deep layer of the skin, which can accelerate the skin's absorption and utilization of it, and achieve faster and more significant anti-aging effects.
3. Non-irritating: It has mild properties, so it is also suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin. It is non-irritating and non-allergic, and its skin care effect is also long-lasting and stable, which can keep the skin young.
