Description

Oligopeptide-184 is a chemical compound, a class of biomolecules in abbreviated form, a synthetic protein composed of 29 amino acids linked together among them: alanine, arginine, asparagine, aspartic acid, cysteine, glutamine, glycine, histidine, isoleucine, leucine, lysine, phenylalanine, serine, threonine, tryptophan and valine.

Synthetic peptides can be generated as copies of protein fragments by incorporating non-proteinogenic amino acids and modifications to enhance the proteolytic stability of the molecules. Peptides are used in the development of therapeutic drugs for their antimicrobial activity, and for their bioactive interest.

What it is used for and where
Cosmetics - INCI Functions
Skin protectant. It creates a protective barrier on the skin to defend it from harmful substances, irritants, allergens, pathogens that can cause various inflammatory conditions. These products can also improve the natural skin barrier and in most cases more than one is needed to achieve an effective result.

Skin conditioning agent - Miscellaneous. This ingredient has the task of modifying and improving the condition of the skin when it is damaged or dry, reducing flaking and restoring its elasticity.
