INCI Name: Acetyl Tetrapeptide-40
Acetyl Tetrapeptide-40 is a synthetic peptide that decreases the realize of pro-inflammatory interleukins (IL-6 and IL-8) fighting against skin redness, erythema, and telangiectasias. It is known under the trade name Telangyn™ and the sequence is Acetyl-Ala-Thr-Asn-Thr.
Cathelicidins are antimicrobial peptides that protect the skin from infections. LL-37 is a 37-amino-acid-long peptide, a human cathelicidin. Its overexpression increases pro-inflammatory interleukin production resulting in an excessive inflammatory response appearing as erythema, irritation, or similar skin conditions.
Structural protein, an important building block of the space between cells, bones, tendons, eyes and skin.
A powerful skin lightener that acts as an antioxidant and tyrosinase inhibitor.
Strengthens the skin's protective layer, reduces water loss, protects against dryness and irritation.
Biosaccharide Gum-2 is a fermentation gum derived from sorbitol.
