In recent years, with the growing demand of consumers for natural and efficient beauty ingredients, the application of bioactive peptides in the cosmetics field has attracted much attention. Among them, Myristoyl Pentapeptide-17, commonly known as “eyelash peptide”, has become the core ingredient of eyelash care products due to its unique effect of promoting hair growth, and has quickly sparked heated discussions inside and outside the industry.
●Efficacy: Activates keratin genes and significantly promotes eyelash growth
Myristoyl pentapeptide-17 is a synthetic pentapeptide whose mechanism of action focuses on the key regulatory links of hair follicle development:
1.Activate keratin genes: By directly stimulating hair papilla cells, it enhances the expression of keratin genes, thereby promoting keratin synthesis in eyelashes, eyebrows and hair, making hair thicker and tougher.
2.Prolongs hair growth period: Clinical studies have shown that after two weeks of continuous use of a care solution containing 10% of this ingredient, the length and density of eyelashes can be increased by 23%, and the effect can reach 71% after six weeks.
3.High safety: Compared with traditional chemical irritants, peptide ingredients have no significant side effects and are suitable for sensitive areas such as eyelids.
●Application: Comprehensive penetration from professional lines to mass markets
Myristoyl pentapeptide-17 has been widely used in a variety of beauty products and has become the key to brand differentiation competition:
Eyelash Care Products
1.Eyelash growth serum: As a core active ingredient, the recommended addition amount is 3%-10%, and it is added to the formula through the low-temperature water phase to ensure stability.
2.Mascara: Compounded with film-forming agents and nourishing ingredients, it has both instant makeup effects and long-term care functions.
Hair Care And Eyebrow Products
Expanded to categories such as shampoo and eyebrow pencils to help improve the problem of sparse hair.
Diversified Dosage Forms
Suppliers provide two forms of Myristoyl pentapeptide-17 powder (1g-100g) and liquid (20ml-5kg) to meet different formula requirements.
●Industry dynamics: supply chain expansion and technological innovation
Manufacturers accelerate layout:
Many companies around the world have achieved large-scale production of Myristoyl pentapeptide-17, with product purity reaching 97%-98%. Many manufacturers have launched “eyelash peptide” solutions, which focus on high compatibility and low-temperature stability and have been adopted by many brands.
Clinical research promotes standard upgrades:
Research institutions at home and abroad are deepening their exploration of its mechanism of action, such as improving the nutrient supply of hair follicles by promoting the delivery of growth factors.
Broad market prospects:
According to industry forecasts, the global eyelash care market will exceed US$5 billion in 2025, and bioactive peptide ingredients are expected to account for more than 30%。
●Future Outlook
The rise of myristoyl pentapeptide-17 marks the transformation of the cosmetics industry from “covering and modifying” to “biological repair”. With the iteration of technology and the deepening of consumer education, its application areas may be further expanded to medical and aesthetic post-repair, hair loss treatment and other scenarios, becoming a benchmark ingredient for beauty technology innovation.
