SH-OLIGOPEPTIDE-78.

Insufficient Data / HAIR CONDITIONING, SURFACTANT - CLEANSING

SH-Oligopeptide-78 is a synthetic human peptide, structurally derived from type II keratins, primarily recognized for its role in hair fiber stabilization. While detailed skin-specific mechanisms remain undefined, it belongs to a class of peptides generally understood to support cellular regeneration and skin repair processes.

Summary

Hair Conditioning Surfactant - Cleansing Antioxidant Antibacterial

Science

Mechanism of Action

The primary documented mechanism for SH-Oligopeptide-78 involves the interaction of its sulfur-containing amino acids, particularly cysteine, with hair keratin. This interaction forms disulfide bonds that stabilize keratin fibers, enhancing hair integrity against thermal and chemical damage, and imparting antioxidant and antibacterial protection to the hair. Specific mechanisms of action directly targeting skin physiology have not been detailed in available research, though peptides broadly are known to signal endogenous repair pathways and contribute to skin elasticity and regeneration.
