Acetyl Tetrapeptide-11 is a biomimetic signal peptide that reinforces skin structure, enhancing density, elasticity, and smoothness for advanced firming and anti-aging formulations; its mechanism of action is found in Syniorageâ„¢-class actives, though Formulate Labs does not sell these trade-name products.
Ac-Prolisel tetrapeptide (syndecan-1 mimic) · CAS 928006-89-7
Acetyl Tetrapeptide-11 is a synthetic biomimetic signal peptide specifically engineered to combat the structural degradation often seen in mature skin by targeting the dermal-epidermal junction (DEJ). This peptide functions by stimulating the synthesis of syndecan-1–a crucial small proteoglycan–and type XVII collagen, an essential structural protein within hemidesmosomes. This dual-action mechanism works to reinforce epidermal cohesion and intercellular adhesion, effectively improving skin density, elasticity, and surface smoothness for premium firming and anti-aging formulations.
Market context: — The cosmetic peptide market features ingredients like Acetyl Tetrapeptide-11, which is found in Syniorageâ„¢-class actives from suppliers like BASF, where it is positioned for epidermal cohesion enhancement in mature skin. This peptide is also often blended with other ingredients, such as Acetyl Tetrapeptide-9 in Replexium®-class actives, to achieve comprehensive anti-aging effects by targeting both epidermal and dermal matrices. Formulate Labs exclusively supplies the pure INCI ingredient, Acetyl Tetrapeptide-11, for custom formulation, and we do not sell or distribute any competitor trade-name SKUs.
Formulate Labs offers Acetyl Tetrapeptide-11 in high-purity, standardized suspensions, typically at 1500 ppm or 0.1% in glycerin, ensuring optimal stability and ease of integration into diverse cosmetic bases. Our rigorously tested carriers are designed to maintain the peptide’s structural integrity and bioavailability, providing a reliable foundation for your advanced formulations.
We supply it as a finished aqueous suspension in two carriers - a 35% glycerin / water base for maximum formulation flexibility, or dosed directly into our single-origin Sea Kelp Bioferment. Both ship at the ProliselTM-equivalent reference of 0.01% or our 10X lab concentrate at 0.1%.
These attributes are assessments based on the ingredient deck and the supplier information available to us. They are not third-party certifications (no Kosher, Halal, Vegan, or similar certifying body has audited or issued a certificate for this material). If your finished product requires a specific certified status, please reach out and we’ll walk through what we can document.
Every lot is produced to order in our AI-powered robotic factory. Nothing sits on a warehouse shelf going stale - you get a date-of-manufacture-fresh batch every time.
Formulate Labs provides Acetyl Tetrapeptide-11 as a pure INCI ingredient for custom formulation, and we do not supply trade-name SKUs such as Syniorage™ or Replexium®.
Acetyl Tetrapeptide-11 (Prolisel) is a syndecan-1-mimetic tetrapeptide discussed in cosmetic hydration and matrix-support literature for resilient, moisturized-looking skin. These are independent, third-party papers we link for formulators evaluating mechanism, tolerability, and published panel data. We did not conduct this research and do not guarantee replication in your finished formula.
