MYRISTOYL TETRAPEPTIDE-41.

Insufficient Data / SKIN CONDITIONING

Myristoyl Tetrapeptide-41 is a synthetically derived peptide, chemically modified with a lipophilic myristoyl fatty acid. It is primarily categorized as a skin conditioning agent, hypothesized to support skin health by activating endogenous repair mechanisms. This ingredient is commonly seen in formulations targeting anti-aging concerns like fine lines and overall skin resilience.

Summary

Skin Conditioning

Science

Mechanism of Action

This ingredient functions primarily as a skin conditioning agent. Peptides are integral to the body's metabolic processes, often acting as signaling molecules that can activate the skin's inherent repair mechanisms. The myristoyl component, a lipophilic fatty acid, is a strategic modification that is believed to enhance the peptide's penetration into the skin, thereby facilitating the delivery of its conditioning benefits more effectively.

Key findings

  1. 01 Tetrapeptides, as a class, have been investigated for their potential in anti-aging treatments, specifically targeting wrinkles and fine lines, and improving the mechanical properties of the skin. A broad potential concentration range from 1x10^-7% to 20% has been noted for such peptides.

Dusting Analysis

Commonly dusted

The specific efficacy of MYRISTOYL TETRAPEPTIDE-41 lacks comprehensive, publicly available clinical validation. While the broader category of tetrapeptides shows promise, a notable cosmetic resource explicitly lists 'no known benefits' for this particular peptide. This absence of specific efficacy data suggests that it might be included in formulations at concentrations without robust evidence of its direct impact, potentially leading to 'dusting'.

Stability

Peptides are sensitive molecules, significantly affected by environmental factors such as pH, temperature, and interactions with other active ingredients. For optimal stability, solutions of related myristoylated peptides are typically prepared in water or DMSO and require storage at low temperatures (e.g., -80°C or -20°C) to prevent inactivation, particularly from repeated freeze-thaw cycles, and must be protected from moisture.

Safety

Not reviewed
Sensitization risk Unknown

MYRISTOYL TETRAPEPTIDE-41 has not been specifically reviewed for safety by the Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) Expert Panel, meaning its safety profile has not been independently assessed. Information regarding potential irritancy or comedogenicity is currently unknown.

Verdict

Insufficient Data

While MYRISTOYL TETRAPEPTIDE-41 is proposed for skin conditioning and anti-aging benefits, there is insufficient specific clinical data to conclusively demonstrate its efficacy, and its safety has not been independently reviewed.
