Palmitoyl pentapeptide-4, also known as palmitoyl pentapeptide-3/M-based peptide, is composed of five amino acid small molecular peptides and palmitoyl, and the amino acid sequence is lysine - threonine - threonine - lysine - serine (KTTKS). Palmitoyl pentapeptide-4 is a synthetic short peptide derived from Collagen I fragments.
As the pioneer of skin care with polypeptide ingredients, palmitoyl pentapeptide-4 has great influence on the cosmetics raw material market. Currently, the palmitoyl series polypeptides launched on the market are mostly developed based on palmitoyl pentapeptide-4. It has good anti-aging and anti-wrinkle effects. The addition amount in cosmetics is 0.01%.

Palmitoyl Pentapeptide-4 can be added into anti-wrinkle serums and creams to improve facial sagging and signs of aging.
Palmitoyl Pentapeptide-4 is applicable in after-sun repair essences and anti-photoaging lotions. It protects collagen from UV damage and alleviates skin roughness and dullness caused by photoaging.

Palmitoyl Pentapeptide-4 is a synthetic short-chain peptide (specifically KTTKS linked to palmitic acid) that mimics collagen fragments. It acts as a cellular messenger, signaling the skin to produce more collagen and elastin, which improves skin firmness and reduces wrinkles.
Due to its high biological activity and skin permeability, the recommended dosage concentration in anti-wrinkle and anti-aging cosmetic formulations is typically 0.01%.
Yes. It is highly effective in photo-aging resistant formulations and after-sun repair products. It protects existing collagen from being broken down by UV light and helps rebuild damaged extracellular matrices.
Our Palmitoyl Pentapeptide-4 comes in an off-white to light-yellow powder form with an active assay purity of ≥98% as verified by High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC).
For small volumes (1kg), we provide secure double plastic lining with an aluminum foil bag inside. For bulk storage, it is packed in secure drums. Keep in tight, light-resistant containers under dry and cold storage conditions to maintain peak biological efficacy.
