Science
Mechanism of Action
This hexapeptide functions as an antioxidant, humectant, and a skin conditioning and protecting agent. Drawing insights from closely related S-Octopus Pentapeptide-1 SP, it is understood to stimulate collagen synthesis, enhance skin elasticity and firmness, and provide anti-wrinkling and anti-aging effects. It further supports skin hydration by fortifying the skin barrier and may contribute to increased cellular energy through ATP synthesis, mirroring natural marine compounds.
