Science
Mechanism of Action
Functions through a dual-action approach where oleic and palmitic acid components reinforce the lipid barrier while the phosphoethanolamine-linked peptide segment potentially triggers cellular repair pathways and collagen synthesis signaling. Its absorbent properties facilitate controlled release of co-formulated actives.

Dusting Analysis
Given its specialized nature and likely higher cost as a complex synthetic peptide, this ingredient is typically used at meaningful concentrations rather than trace amounts for marketing purposes.
The Formula
Formulation
Stability
Vulnerable to hydrolysis under extreme pH conditions due to glycerophosphate linkage and ammonium salt structure. Amphiphilic nature enables incorporation into both aqueous and oil phases.
Conflicts
- strong acids
- strong bases
- cationic surfactants
