Myristoyl Hexapeptide-16 is an eyelash booster lipo-peptide with sequence Myr-Leu-Lys-Lys-Ala-Leu-Lys that stimulates multiple genes responsible for keratin (hair protein) production. Keratin is the primary protein in hair, nails, and the outermost layer of the skin. Moreover, it leaves an anti-aging and anti-inflammatory action on the skin.

Thanks to its anti-bacterial properties, Myristoyl Hexapeptide-16 doesn't require additional preservatives and fights against harmful bacteria in hair follicles. It provides extraordinary lash enhancement, exposing beautiful, healthy, and expressive eyelashes.

Combined with Myristoyl Pentapeptide-17, Myristoyl Hexapeptide-16 potentiates effectiveness and boosts eyelash growth. This duo of lipopeptides is used in many lash applications because it visibly increases eyelash length after 2 weeks.
