Palmitoyl Oligopeptide-7
What is Palmitoyl Oligopeptide-7?
Palmitoyl Oligopeptide-7 is a synthetic signal peptide composed of palmitic acid linked to a heptapeptide sequence designed to mimic natural growth factors in the skin. It works by stimulating collagen production, reducing inflammation, and inhibiting the release of interleukins triggered by UV exposure, thereby supporting skin repair and resilience. Commonly used in anti-aging formulations, it helps minimize fine lines, improve skin firmness, and soothe irritation.
