METHYL CAPROOYL TYROSINATE.

This active ingredient operates by significantly boosting the skin's natural generation of antimicrobial peptides (AMPs), specifically cathelicidin antimicrobial peptide (CAMP). Its precise mechanism involves potentiating Sphingosine Kinase 1 (SPHK1) activity, which leads to an elevation in cellular Sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) levels. This cascade subsequently activates the transcription factor NF-κB, a key regulator in inducing CAMP production. By enhancing CAMP expression, Methyl Caprooyl Tyrosinate strengthens the skin's intrinsic defense system and can help suppress the proliferation of bacteria such as Staphylococcus on the skin's surface, notably without promoting antibiotic resistance.
