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.

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

• Strengthening hair structure – peptides help build the keratin structure of the hair, making it stronger and less brittle.
• Restoration of damaged hair – restores damaged hair cuticles, improves smoothness and shine.
• Stimulation of hair follicles – some peptides can stimulate hair growth and reduce hair loss.
• Scalp moisturizing – help maintain hydration, which contributes to a healthy environment for hair growth.
