Peptides

The building blocks of youthful, firm and radiant skin.

What are peptides?

Peptides are short chains of amino acids that are the basic building blocks of proteins (such as collagen, elastin, and keratin). They are particularly prized in cosmetics for their ability to influence skin cells – acting as “messaging molecules” that signal the skin to repair, form collagen, and regenerate.

They are often used in the form of synthetic bioactive peptides , designed to mimic natural processes in the skin. Due to their small size, they can penetrate deeper into the epidermis than larger proteins.

What studies say about skin benefits

They stimulate the formation of collagen and elastin – helping to improve skin firmness, reduce fine wrinkles and improve elasticity.
Skin barrier restoration – strengthens the skin's protective function, which is crucial for sensitive or damaged skin.
Anti-inflammatory action – reduces redness and irritation and aids healing.
Antioxidant effect – protects the skin from oxidative stress and premature aging.
They improve skin moisture – by stimulating the synthesis of hyaluronic acid, they contribute to better moisture retention.

What studies say about hair benefits

Strengthening hair structure – peptides help build the keratin structure of hair, making hair stronger and less brittle.
Damaged hair restoration – they restore damaged hair cuticles, improving smoothness and shine.
Stimulation of hair follicles – some peptides can stimulate hair growth and reduce hair loss.
Scalp moisturizing – helps maintain hydration, which contributes to a healthy environment for hair growth.
