Chemyunion unveils Peptid4 B-Like, a next-generation tetrapeptide that offers a sustainable, high-performance alternative for wrinkle reduction. Designed to meet the growing demand for effective yet non-invasive skin care solutions, Peptid4 B-Like is said to deliver superior results while aligning with Green Chemistry principles. It reportedly provides an affordable option for formulating advanced anti-aging products.
Advanced Functionality for Expression Wrinkles
As Chemyunion explains, Peptid4 B-Like (INCI: Propanediol (and) Tetrapeptide-111) is engineered to target expression wrinkles through a complementary pathway to botulinum toxins. It interacts with the α-sites of nicotinic cholinergic receptors, competing with acetylcholine to reduce muscle contraction, resulting in visible wrinkle smoothing. This unique mechanism reportedly enables superior performance compared to current market benchmarks.
Demonstrated Clinical Efficacy
In a clinical study of 21 volunteers, twice daily application of the ingredient demonstrated Peptid4 B-Like’s performance. Compared with a benchmark peptide at 10% (50 ppm), subjects using 4% (50 ppm) Peptid4 B-Like achieved statistically significant improvements across multiple parameters, including wrinkle area, number, perimeter and volume.
More specifically, effects included:
- 20% reduction in periorbital wrinkles within 14 days of use,
- 75% of volunteers reported a reduction in forehead wrinkles,
- 80% observed fewer wrinkles around the eyes, and
- 75% noticed improved skin elasticity.
Sustainability Redefined in Peptide Synthesis
Peptid4 B-Like additionally sets a new industry standard for sustainability, addressing the resource-intensive nature of traditional peptide synthesis. Per the company, the ingredient complies with 10 of the 12 principles of Green Chemistry, boasting a 99.86% natural origin per ISO 16128 standards. Its efficient Solid-Phase Peptide Synthesis (SPPS) process minimizes petrochemical usage and maximizes renewable raw materials, making it an eco-friendly and commercially viable alternative for formulators.
Formulation Considerations
According to Chemyinion, Peptid4 B-Like’s cost-effective and scalable production ensures affordability without compromising purity and performance. Its reported versatility can support brands aiming to create advanced anti-wrinkle formulations that appeal to eco-conscious consumers.
