You might be justified in asking what an ingredient with a name like Acetyl Hexapeptide is doing in an all-natural and organic skincare company's ingredient roster. In reality, peptides are nothing more than amino acids linked in a chain that perform a myriad of complex activities in the body.
In the quest for younger looking and performing skin, the two most effective peptides for wrinkle control and collagen production are Argireline (wrinkle relaxing) and Matrixyl (collagen building).
Argireline (Acetyl Hexapeptide): We have actually taken a bit of license in using the Argireline name, as it is a brand name of Acetyl Hexapeptide that is far more familiar to most consumers than the peptide name. Peptides are tiny protein particles that perform various functions in neurotransmitter activity. In this case, Argireline (also known as Snap-8 due to the fact that it is a chain of 8 amino acids) mimics a protein that inhibits the contraction of muscles, which in turn causes wrinkles to relax—up to 30% in the first 6 weeks of clinical trials! In our experience, that benefit continues to accrue when used regularly over time.
It is important to note that Argireline doesn't cause muscles to relax—it keeps them from contracting very deeply, which is a major distinction. Our Acetyl Hexapeptide is organically grown for us on brown rice substrates and contains zero parabens, unlike the chemically synthesized brand-name alternative.
Visible Wrinkle Reduction
Argireline works beautifully in tandem with Matrixyl, as Matrixyl helps the skin rebuild and repair its own collagen net—the framework for maintaining a taut, firm matrix for your skin.
In short, Argireline is a safe, non-toxic ingredient used in the majority of the best anti-aging, anti-wrinkle serums available today. A strong concentration of Argireline will always reduce wrinkle depth to the human eye. Here at PuraVeda Organics, we use the most up-to-date clinical study findings to arrive at our concentration of 10% Argireline to 25% Matrixyl. Unlike most commercial formulas, we offer our peptide complex in a base of scientifically proven organic skin actives with absolutely ZERO synthetic or harmful ingredients.
