Palmitoyl Hexapeptide-14

Product Overview

Palmitoyl Hexapeptide‑14 (formerly known as Palmitoyl Hexapeptide‑6) is a lipid‑modified bioactive peptide used in skincare. The palmitoyl (C16 fatty acid) chain enhances skin penetration. It offers anti-aging benefits by stimulating fibroblast activity, increasing collagen synthesis, and inhibiting matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs).

Product Benefits

• Stimulates dermal collagen types I & III production, improving skin firmness and elasticity
• Inhibits MMP‑1 and MMP‑3 enzymes, reducing collagen and elastin breakdown
• Enhances penetration into deeper layers of skin thanks to its lipid tail
• Helps smooth fine lines and reduce wrinkle depth
• Presents anti-inflammatory properties, comforting sensitive or irritated skin

Key Ingredients

• Palmitoyl‑L‑phenylalanyl‑L‑alanine‑L‑leucine‑L‑leucine‑L‑lysine‑L‑leucinamide (six-amino-acid peptide conjugated with palmitic acid)
