Palmitoyl tetrapeptide-20 is derived from the α-MSH structure and is known to be the main molecule capable of stimulating melanin production. It reverses the process of hair aging, making people with graying hair look younger. Palmitoyl tetrapeptide-20 can bind to the transmembrane receptor MC1-R (Melanocortin-1 Receptor) located on the surface of melanocytes. Activation of MC1-R stimulates melanin production, as well as catalase expression and activity, helping to stimulate hair's natural pigmentation during regeneration.
Black Hair Peptide is an innovative melanocyte-stimulating hormone α (MSH-α) biomimetic peptide that acts on the two main causes of gray hair: melanin reduction and oxidative stress. It offers an unprecedentedly effective way to prevent, stop and reverse hair aging. At the same time, black hair peptide can also reduce the oxidative stress of hair bulbs and reduce the level of hydrogen peroxide in cells.
As a cosmetic raw material, it is mainly used in the field of hair care, and is made into shampoo, conditioner, and essential oil. Helps in the reduction of gray hair and restores youthfulness to those with gray hair.
