Palmitoyl Dipeptide-10: Advanced Anti-Glycation and DNA Protection for Youthful Skin
Palmitoyl Dipeptide-10, a synthetic lipophilic peptide identified as Pal-Ala-His and a carnosine-like dipeptide, is engineered for enhanced penetration into the stratum corneum, delivering targeted cosmetic benefits. Positioned as a high-performance active for anti-aging and DNA-protective applications, its primary mechanism involves scavenging reactive oxygen and carbonyl species (ROS/RCS). This dual anti-glycation and antioxidant activity effectively inhibits the Maillard reaction and prevents the formation of advanced glycation end products (AGEs), helping to preserve the integrity of the extracellular matrix, mitigate cellular senescence, and prevent structural protein crosslinking.
Market context: — Palmitoyl Dipeptide-10 is incorporated into various commercially available cosmetic raw materials, each with distinct market positioning. For example, it is a key peptide found in C-Pep Nutecyl-class actives, emphasizing DNA-protective and anti-glycation benefits, as well as in SunPEP Di-100-class actives for antioxidant and skin-firming properties. It is also featured in RLTPep Palmitoyl Dipeptide-10-class actives, promoted for mitochondrial stabilization and free-radical scavenging. Formulate Labs provides this advanced active strictly under its INCI name, Palmitoyl Dipeptide-10, ensuring transparent and flexible formulation solutions; we do not sell or endorse any specific trade-name products.
Formulate Labs makes Palmitoyl Dipeptide-10 available in readily dispersible suspensions, simplifying formulation and handling for chemists. Our standard offering is a 0.1% active concentration in a glycerin solution, providing an easy-to-integrate base. For advanced applications, we also provide higher concentration 1% Lab Concentrates and specialized carriers like Sea Kelp Bioferment, offering versatility to meet diverse formulation needs.
We supply it at 0.1% standard or 1% lab concentrate in glycerin or Sea Kelp Bioferment carriers.
