NICOTINOYL HEXAPEPTIDE-45.

Insufficient Data / ANTIOXIDANT, SKIN PROTECTING, UV FILTER

Nicotinoyl Hexapeptide-45 is a distinct compound synthesized from Niacin (Vitamin B3) and Hexapeptide-45. It is theoretically formulated to deliver antioxidant defense, broad skin protection, and UV filtering properties, though specific clinical validation remains to be established.

Summary

Antioxidant Skin Protecting UV Filter

Science

Mechanism of Action

This ingredient is hypothesized to exert its effects through multiple pathways: as an antioxidant, it aims to neutralize reactive oxygen species, protecting skin cells from oxidative stress. Its 'skin protecting' and 'UV filter' functions suggest a role in fortifying the skin barrier against environmental aggressors and potentially absorbing or scattering UV radiation, respectively. Chemically, it bridges the bioactive components of Niacin with a specific hexapeptide.

Verdict

Insufficient Data

While Nicotinoyl Hexapeptide-45 presents theoretical benefits as an antioxidant, skin protectant, and UV filter, there is currently insufficient specific clinical efficacy and safety data to definitively assess its performance and suitability in skincare formulations.
