2. Physical & Chemical Properties

Test Item Standard Specification
Appearance White to off-white lyophilized crystalline powder
Odor Odorless
Solubility Freely soluble in purified water, neutral PBS buffer (pH 6.0–7.5); soluble in glycerin & DMSO; slightly soluble in ethanol; insoluble in mineral oil, acetone
pH (0.1% aqueous solution) 4.2 ~ 6.8
Thermal Operation Rule Add below 40℃ during emulsification; avoid sustained heating above 60℃

4. Core Biological Mechanism & Efficacy

  1. Compete with SNAP-25 to Block SNARE Complex Assembly (Core Anti-Wrinkle)
    Biomimetic fragment of SNAP-25 protein; occupies binding site of SNARE complex, inhibits vesicle fusion and acetylcholine neurotransmitter release, reduces excessive contraction of facial expression muscles, smooths dynamic wrinkles (crow’s feet, frown lines, forehead lines).
  2. Higher Anti-Wrinkle Activity Than Argireline (Acetyl Hexapeptide-8)
    Extended two amino acids based on hexapeptide sequence, stronger binding affinity to SNARE complex, lower effective dosage, longer-lasting muscle relaxation effect.
  3. Prevent Dynamic Lines Evolving into Permanent Static Wrinkles
    Long-term use reduces repeated muscle traction damage to dermal collagen fibers, delays formation of deep static wrinkles and nasolabial folds.
  4. Mild Antioxidant & Anti-Inflammatory Auxiliary Effect
    Scavenges epidermal ROS free radicals, relieves inflammatory stress caused by frequent facial expressions, improves dull and rough mature skin texture.
  5. Multi-Peptide Synergistic Matching
    Compound with Palmitoyl Tripeptide-5 (Syn-Coll) / Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7 (Rigin) to realize triple effects: muscle relaxation + collagen regeneration + anti-inflammaging.

5. Application Fields & Recommended Dosage

5.1 Anti-Wrinkle Facial Skincare (Core Application)

Anti-expression line serum, anti-frown ampoule, crow’s feet repair cream, firming anti-aging lotion
  • Recommended addition: 0.005% ~ 0.10% (w/w)

5.2 Eye Contour Care

Anti-wrinkle eye gel, lifting eye cream for dynamic eye lines
  • Recommended addition: 0.005% ~ 0.08% (w/w)

5.3 Mature Skin Compound Anti-Aging Formulas

Overnight repair mask, anti-photoaging nourishing cream
  • Recommended addition: 0.001% ~ 0.05% (w/w)

Formula Operation Tips

Optimal pH range: 4.0–6.5; compatible with hyaluronic acid, panthenol, copper peptide GHK-Cu, vitamin E derivatives; add at low-temperature late emulsification stage, match with UV stabilizer.

6. Safety Profile

  • Non-irritating to facial skin and delicate ocular mucosa at standard cosmetic dosage
  • Non-sensitizing, non-phototoxic, no contact allergy risk
  • Reversible mild muscle relaxation, no stiff facial numbness side effects
  • No cytotoxicity to keratinocytes and dermal fibroblasts under routine leave-on cosmetic concentration

7. Storage & Packaging

  • Storage Condition: Hermetic nitrogen-filled aluminum foil vacuum bag; long-term storage at -20°C, strictly light-proof, oxygen-proof & moisture-proof; avoid repeated opening & freeze-thaw cycles; short-term storage ≤4°C
  • Shelf Life: 36 months under intact original vacuum packaging
  • Packaging: 1g/5kg aluminum vacuum foil bags for cosmetic factories; 25kg double PE inner bag + paper drum for bulk orders
