Myristoyl Pentapeptide-11
What Myristoyl Pentapeptide-11 is & what it does
Myristoyl Pentapeptide-11 is a synthetic five-amino-acid peptide attached to myristic acid, a fatty acid that helps it disperse in the oil phase and interact with skin. It is used as a skin-conditioning ingredient and, like other lipopeptides, is commonly marketed for supporting firmer, smoother- looking skin. It is not a UV filter and is used at very low levels. It usually appears in serums, eye products, and anti-aging style treatments.
