sh-Polypeptide-58
sh-Polypeptide-58 is a single chain synthetic human peptide, produced by fermentation in E.Coli. The starting gene is a synthesized copy of the human gene which codes for Tissue Inhibitor for Metalloproteinase 1 (TIMP-1). Used in skincare for anti-aging, hair growth and wound healing.
sh-polypeptide-62
sh-Polypeptide-62, or Hepatocyte Growth Factor (HGF), acts as a hair growth promoter and anti-aging agent. It improves the elasticity of the skin by synthesizing collagen and elastin. It protects hair loss, heals scars and stimulates hair growth. HGF is used in skin-, hair- and body care formulations.
sh-Polypeptide-3
sh-Polypeptide-3 is a single-chain synthetic recombinant peptide, an analog of human KGF (Keratinocyte Growth Factor). KGF was first described in 1989 as a human growth factor that stimulated epithelial cell proliferation. sh-Polypeptide-3 affects the proliferation and differentiation of various cell types as it is a part of the Fibroblast growth factor (FGF) superfamily. KGF is involved in early hair growth as an important go-between. sh-Polypeptide-3 promotes dermal cell adhesion, spreading, and proliferation and boosts regenerative processes in the skin and wound healing. It is an important mediator in epithelial repairs and mesenchymal interactions. In addition, sh-Polypeptide-3 strengthens hair follicles, stimulating...
sh-Polypeptide-10
Sh-polypeptide-10, also known as KGF-2 (Keratinocyte Growth Factor 2), is utilized in skincare primarily for its regenerative and anti-aging properties. It can help in reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles while supporting overall skin vitality and firmness. Also used for hair development, and wound healing.
