Palmitoyl Hexapeptide-12 is a synthetic lipopeptide consisting of six amino acids linked to palmitic acid (C16). This molecule belongs to the class of signal peptides, which are designed to mimic the body’s natural peptide signals to stimulate collagen production and improve skin firmness. It is widely used in high-end anti-aging skincare formulations.
Chemically, Palmitoyl Hexapeptide-12 is a derivative of the natural hexapeptide sequence that corresponds to a fragment of the human collagen type I propeptide. The palmitoyl chain enhances lipophilicity, allowing better penetration through the stratum corneum. This peptide has been shown to upregulate collagen synthesis and downregulate collagenase activity, leading to improved skin elasticity and reduced wrinkle depth.
Our Palmitoyl Hexapeptide-12 is produced through solid-phase peptide synthesis and purified by HPLC to ensure high purity and consistent quality. It is available as a white powder with ≥95% assay, suitable for use in cosmetic formulations targeting anti-aging, firming, and repair. The product is supplied with comprehensive documentation, including COA and MSDS, and is manufactured under strict quality control to meet the demands of the personal care industry.
