Description

Palmitoyl Dipeptide-7 Maltoside Tripeptide-69 is the product obtained by the reaction of palmitic acid with a pentapeptide composed of Dipeptide-7 and Tripeptide-69, where the second amino acid of Dipeptide-7 is modified by maltose.

Chemical Composition and Structure

Palmitoyl Dipeptide-7 Maltoside Tripeptide-69 consists of:

Palmitic Acid: a fatty acid that is conjugated to the peptide.
Dipeptide-7: a dipeptide sequence modified with maltose on the second amino acid.
Tripeptide-69: a peptide sequence integrated into the final product.

Physical Properties

Palmitoyl Dipeptide-7 Maltoside Tripeptide-69 has the following characteristics:

Appearance: typically a white or light-colored powder.
Solubility: soluble in water and compatible solvents used in cosmetic formulations.
Stability: enhanced stability due to the palmitoylation and maltose modification, making it suitable for inclusion in various skincare products.

Production Process

The production process for Palmitoyl Dipeptide-7 Maltoside Tripeptide-69 involves:

Synthesis: combining palmitic acid with a pentapeptide that includes Dipeptide-7 and Tripeptide-69, with maltose modification on Dipeptide-7.
Purification: the synthesized product is purified to remove any impurities or by-products.
Formulation: the purified product is formulated into cosmetic products.
Quality Control: the final product is tested for purity, efficacy, and safety to ensure it meets industry standards.

Applications

Medical: primarily used in cosmetic applications rather than medical treatments.

INCI


Humectant. Hygroscopic compound used to minimise water loss in the skin and to prevent it from drying out by facilitating faster and greater absorption of water into the stratum corneum of the epidermis. The epidermis is the most superficial of the three layers that make up human skin (epidermis, dermis and hypodermis) and is the layer that maintains hydration in all three layers. In turn, the epidermis is composed of five layers: horny, the most superficial, granular, spinous, shiny, and basal. Humectants have the ability to retain the water they attract from the air in the stratum corneum and have the function of moisturising the skin. They are best used before emollients, which are oil-based.

Skin conditioning agent. It is the mainstay of topical skin treatment as it has the function of restoring, increasing or improving skin tolerance to external factors, including melanocyte tolerance. The most important function of the conditioning agent is to prevent skin dehydration, but the subject is rather complex and involves emollients and humectants that can be added in the formulation.
