Myristoyl Pentapeptide-17 is a highly effective, bio-available signaling peptide widely used in premium eyelash enhancers, eyebrow serums, and hair care formulations. It is specifically designed to stimulate keratin production, resulting in visibly longer, thicker, and stronger eyelashes and brows.
INCI Name: Myristoyl Pentapeptide-17
Synonyms: Eyelash Peptide, Lash-stimulating Peptide
Molecular Structure: It consists of a linear chain of five amino acids (Pentapeptide) covalently linked to myristic acid (a fatty acid).
The Role of Myristic Acid Modification:Natural peptides are hydrophilic (water-loving) and struggle to penetrate the skin barrier. The addition of the myristoyl fatty acid chain drastically increases its lipophilicity (lipid-solubility). This allows the molecule to easily bypass the stratum corneum and penetrate deep into the hair follicles where it can work effectively.
Packaging: Standard packaging includes1g, 10g, 100g bottles for powder; 1kg, 5kg, 25kg drums for liquid.
Storage Conditions:
Powder: Store in a tightly sealed container at -20° for long-term storage, protected from light and moisture.
Shelf Life:
Powder: 24 months from manufacturing date under optimal storage.
Liquid Solution: 12 to 18 months when stored unopened in original container.
