Hexapeptide 5 ml

Hexapeptide active peptide ingredient for biofunctional systems and formulation stability

Hexapeptide is a synthetic cosmetic ingredient of peptide origin used as a raw material in formulation systems designed to build controlled active systems and stable product structure. This functional ingredient is applied in manufacturing as part of high precision active systems ensuring uniform distribution and formulation reproducibility. It demonstrates strong compatibility with emulsifier systems, stabilizers and rheology modifiers.

Functional properties and role

The peptide acts as a functional ingredient regulating interaction between components within formulation systems. It supports stable environment formation and improves compatibility of actives. It distributes evenly in the aqueous phase and does not affect rheology. It is compatible with preservatives such as Phenoxyethanol and Euxyl PE 9010.

Properties and result

In finished products it provides uniform texture and stability. It supports structural integrity and prevents phase separation. When combined with Carbomer or Xanthan Gum it enhances system stability and viscosity control.

Purpose

The ingredient is designed to support biofunctional formulation systems and stabilize product structure.

Application

The main segment is cosmetic manufacturing including serums, creams, gels and concentrates. In hair care it is used in scalp products. In pharmaceutical related fields it is used as a functional component. In SPA applications it is used in professional treatments. It is widely used in contract manufacturing and private label production.

Recipe Concentrated peptide serum

Water — 76 ml
Hexapeptide — 2 g
Glycerin — 5 ml
Sodium PCA — 2 g
Panthenol — 2 g
Carbomer — 0.4 g
Euxyl PE 9010 — 0.8 g

Carbomer is dispersed in the water phase followed by addition of the peptide. Mixing and homogenization are performed. Active ingredients are introduced followed by preservative addition, neutralization and stabilization.

Manufacturing stability

Hexapeptide ensures stable production scaling and batch reproducibility. It integrates easily into industrial processes and maintains consistent product quality.
