Biopeptide EL™ is a peptide-based complex ingredient for skin firmness and tone improvement. Palmitoyl Hexapeptide-12 is a synthetic lipo-peptide, a derivative of VGVAPG-peptide with the sequence Val-Gly-Val-Ala-Pro-Gly, which is a fragment of the natural elastin. That part of the protein is also called a "spring fragment," which is repeated six times in the elastin molecule.
The molecule Palmitoyl Hexapeptide-12 consists of two parts: a peptide attached to a lipophilic palmitic tail, which makes it more stable while also enhancing its ability to penetrate through the skin's lipid barrier.
Thanks to the chemotactic effect of VGVAPG, Biopeptide EL™ potentiates (fragments or peptides) and boosts dermal restructuration through cell communication. It stimulates fibroblast activity and mobility, enhancing collagen and elastin production, improving skin firmness, and exposing a youthful appearance.
Biopeptide EL™ is suitable for skin-firming, eye-contouring, and mature hand care products. When incorporated into skincare applications, it restructures cutaneous tissues, smoothes the skin surface, reduces fine lines and deep wrinkles, and reveals a rejuvenated appearance.
