Myristoyl Tetrapeptide-12

 

Myristoyl Tetrapeptide-12 is a signal peptide specifically developed for the repair and enhancement of hair, such as eyelashes and eyebrows. By directly activating hair follicle stem cells and keratin genes, it safely and effectively prolongs the hair growth phase, serving as a key active ingredient for products designed to create "thick, long" eyelashes and for scalp care formulations.

 

It is a lipo-oligopeptide synthesized via solid-phase technology by combining myristic acid (a 14-carbon saturated fatty acid) with Tetrapeptide-12 (typically featuring the sequence Lys-Ala-Lys-Ala-NH2).

 

Its unique structure-combining lipophilic and hydrophilic properties-not only ensures excellent transdermal absorption but also allows for precise targeting of the hair follicle region, providing deep nourishment to both hair and skin.

 

At room temperature, the high-purity raw material typically appears as a white powder; it boasts excellent water solubility, allowing for easy incorporation into various aqueous and emulsion-based formulations.

 

 

 

 

Myristoyl Tetrapeptide-12 goes beyond simple surface moisturization; it directly intervenes in the hair growth cycle and cellular metabolism through multi-target pathways:

 

1. Activation of keratin genes and dermal papilla cells

Dermal papilla cells play a pivotal role in hair follicle development. This peptide significantly activates keratin genes, stimulates keratin synthesis, and enhances the development of dermal papillae, resulting in stronger, denser new hair.

 

2. Prolonging the hair growth phase

By regulating the hair follicle cell cycle, it effectively extends the growth phase (anagen) and delays the transition to the regression (catagen) and resting (telogen) phases, thereby reducing eyelash and hair loss at the root.

 

3. Cell signaling

Research indicates that it directly activates cells and induces intercellular signaling. It participates in the metabolic regulation of the extracellular matrix, thereby promoting keratinocyte proliferation and enhancing skin firmness and thickness.

 

4. Supports keratin-related expression

Hair is primarily composed of keratin. In cosmetic research, Myristoyl Tetrapeptide-12 has garnered attention for:

 

• Supporting the hair follicle environment
• Regulating keratin-related expression
• Improving the condition of the hair surface

 

Consequently, it has become a popular peptide ingredient in products designed for eyelash, eyebrow, and scalp care.

 

5. Formulation

When designing the formulation, note that this ingredient is most stable in systems with a pH of 5.0–7.0. The recommended usage level is typically between 0.01% and 0.1%. Direct combination with strong acids, strong bases, or high concentrations of metal ions should be avoided to prevent hydrolysis of the peptide bonds.

 

 

1. Eyelash and Eyebrow Care

Serving as a key active ingredient in eyelash growth serums and eyebrow enhancers, it can be applied directly to the roots of eyelashes or the brow area. It significantly improves issues such as sparse or short lashes, adding definition and dimension to the eye and brow contours.

 

2. Hair Care Products

Used in scalp nourishing lotions or anti-hair loss shampoos, Myristoyl Tetrapeptide-12 strengthens hair roots and reduces breakage and hair loss by improving the micro-environment of hair follicles and providing anti-inflammatory benefits.

 

3. Men's Beard Care

Incorporated into beard growth serums or grooming products, it helps cultivate a thick, well-groomed beard, enhancing the overall texture and appearance of the face.

 

4. Anti-aging skincare products

Anti-aging serum
Firming cream
Eye cream
Repair essence
