Nicotiana Benthamiana Hexapeptide-40 sh-Polypeptide-76
This polypeptide complex helps balance skin pigmentation and skin repair, regeneration by supporting vital skin stem cells.
INGREDIENT PROFILE
INCI
Nicotiana Benthamiana Hexapeptide-40 Sh-Polypeptide-76
What it Is
A fusion peptide of hexapeptide-40 with a single chain recombinant human peptide produced by nicotiana benthamiana
What it does
decrease melanin production
Targets
key regulator in melanocyte stem cells, and downregulate MITF which leads to a dormant state thereby reducing overall melanin synthesis
Find it in
Even element EE1-01
Overview
This polypeptide complex, sourced from Nicotiana benthamiana, is engineered to emulate Transforming Growth Factor Beta-2 (TGF-β2), a crucial component in skin physiology. TGF-β2 helps maintain melanocyte stem cells, which are essential for even pigmentation and skin health. The complex aids in sustaining these vital stem cells, supporting balanced skin pigmentation. In addition to its role in pigmentation, its similarity to TGF-β2 enhances skin repair and regeneration, leading to improved elasticity and a reduction in the visible signs of aging.
Skin benefits
Improves skin integrity and protection Antiaging properties Minimizes pores
What research has shown
This combination of peptides acts as a biomimetic Transforming Growth Factor Beta-2 (TGFβ2). TGF-beta is a key regulator in melanocyte stem cells, and downregulate MITF which leads to a dormant state thereby reducing overall melanin synthesis
