What is the development prospect of cosmetic peptides
Generally speaking, one peptide, three peptide and five peptide can help promote collagen production; four peptide can help anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidation; hexapeptide can prevent the release of neurotransmitters, similar to the effect of botulinum toxin. In a word, the application prospect of peptides in skin care is very bright. Their biological and reductive properties can also be used in food, medicine and other industries. With the wide application of peptides in these industries, pure natural extraction or biological preparation can not meet the needs. People began to synthesize peptides artificially, from simple dipeptides to tetrapeptides, pentapeptides, and even more. However, except for L-carnosine and glutathione, the synthesis and preparation methods of other peptides are rarely reported.
In the 1990s, cosmetics with DNA and natural protein were popular for a time, but studies showed that these macromolecular active ingredients were difficult to be absorbed through the epidermis; later, a protein fragment peptide was found, which was non-toxic, highly active and easy to absorb; The special physiological activity of small molecular peptide can improve a series of skin problems in essence, and has good application effect in cosmetics.
There are very few reports on synthetic peptide products, most of which are based on a certain step or a certain kind of reaction (such as the synthesis of pentapeptide-3, and the market demand is increasing year by year). Therefore, the research and development and production potential of peptide products have great economic and social benefits.
