Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1 Acetate
What is Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1 Acetate?
Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1 Acetate is a synthetic peptide composed of the amino acids glycine-histidine-lysine (GHK) attached to a palmitic acid chain and an acetate group, designed to enhance skin penetration and stability. It mimics the body's natural signaling peptides to stimulate collagen I, III, IV, elastin, and glycosaminoglycan production, promoting skin firmness and reducing wrinkles. Commonly used in anti-aging serums and creams at concentrations of 0.001-0.005%.
