Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-72 Amide description

Palmitoyl tetrapeptide-72 amide is a synthetic signal peptide made by combining tetrapeptide-72 with a carrier ingredient known as palmitoyl chloride. The building blocks of this peptide are the amino acids alanine, arginine, histidine and tyrosine. Applied to skin, this peptide has clinical data from its supplier indicating that it improves surface firmness and tensile strength. It encourages numerous supportive elements in skin to visibly maintain youthful shape, bounce, and help resist age-related deterioration that results in multiple signs of aging, including first signs of sagging. Think of it as a foundational peptide that provides an organizational framework for skin to look younger. Usage levels of palmitoyl tetrapeptide-72 amide in skin care range from 1–2%, with a smaller portion of this being the peptide itself since the material is supplied as a solution. It’s considered non-irritating and safe for sensitive skin.
