BENZYLCARBAMATO CINNAMIDOISOPENTYL DIPEPTIDE-38 AMIDE.

Valuable / ANTI-SEBUM, FILM FORMING

A sophisticated synthetic peptide engineered to act as a dual-action urban defender for the skin. It creates an invisible, breathable matrix that physically blocks particulate matter while simultaneously recalibrating oil production at the cellular level.

Summary

anti-sebum anti-pollution film forming skin conditioning

Science

Mechanism of Action

This peptide employs a biomimetic approach to skin protection: the isopentyl dipeptide-38 amide core modulates sebocyte activity to curb excess lipid synthesis, while the benzylcarbamato and cinnamic acid moieties form a structured film. This film acts as a repulsive shield against PM2.5 (urban dust), preventing pollutant adhesion and the subsequent oxidative carbonylation of skin proteins.

Key findings

  1. 01 Clinical trials utilizing a 2% concentration confirmed a significant decrease in surface sebum levels and a quantifiable reduction in the accumulation of urban pollutants.
  2. 02 In-vitro analysis on sebocyte cultures validated a reduction in lipid droplet accumulation, while ex-vivo testing demonstrated protection against protein oxidation and carbonylation.
