Palmitoyl pentapeptide-4, also known as palmitoyl pentapeptide-3/M-based peptide, is composed of five amino acid small molecular peptides and palmitoyl, and the amino acid sequence is lysine - threonine - threonine - lysine - serine (KTTKS). Palmitoyl pentapeptide-4 is a synthetic short peptide derived from Collagen I fragments.
As the pioneer of skin care with polypeptide ingredients, palmitoyl pentapeptide-4 has great influence on the cosmetics raw material market. Currently, the palmitoyl series polypeptides launched on the market are mostly developed based on palmitoyl pentapeptide-4. It has good anti-aging and anti-wrinkle effects. The addition amount in cosmetics is 0.01%.
