Palmitoyl Hexapeptide-12

Palmitoyl Hexapeptide-12, also known as Biopeptide EL, is a highly advanced lipopeptide engineered to stimulate the synthesis of key extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins in the dermis. Composed of the six-amino acid sequence Val-Gly-Val-Ala-Pro-Gly (VGVAPG) conjugated with a palmitic acid (C16) chain at the N-terminus, this signal peptide mimics the action of natural growth factors to promote collagen, elastin, fibronectin, and hyaluronic acid production. With a molecular weight of approximately 802 Da, Palmitoyl Hexapeptide-12 is widely recognized as one of the most effective and well-researched signal peptides in the cosmetic industry, delivering visible anti-aging, firming, and skin repair benefits through a gentle, non-invasive mechanism.
