As a colorless, opalescent liquid with a pH range of 4.0 – 6.0, this water-soluble powerhouse (INCI: PALMITOYL PENTAPEPTIDE-3) is engineered to dramatically reduce the visible signs of aging. With a recommended inclusion rate of 3-10%, Matrixyl KTTKS is your ultimate ally in formulating highly effective skincare solutions that deliver visible results.

Description and Key Features

Matrixyl KTTKS (Palmitoyl Pentapeptide-3) is a cutting-edge peptide that functions as a cellular messenger. Its primary role is to communicate with skin cells, specifically fibroblasts, signaling them to increase the production of essential skin matrix components that diminish with age. This sophisticated mechanism allows Matrixyl KTTKS to directly address the root causes of wrinkles and loss of firmness.

Key features and benefits include:

• Wrinkle Reduction: Significantly decreases both the volume and density of wrinkles, including deep furrows and fine lines, leading to a smoother skin surface.
• Collagen Synthesis Stimulation: Actively promotes the synthesis of new collagen, specifically stimulating Collagen I, III, and IV. These are crucial types of collagen for maintaining skin structure, elasticity, and firmness.
• Elastin Production Boost: Enhances the synthesis of elastin, a vital protein responsible for skin's elasticity and ability to bounce back, leading to a more resilient and toned appearance.
• Matrix and Epidermal Restoration: Works to restore the skin's extracellular matrix and epidermis, improving overall skin architecture and integrity.
• Preventative Action: Helps prevent the formation of new wrinkles by maintaining optimal skin health and structure.
• Non-Irritating: Delivers powerful anti-aging benefits without causing irritating side effects, making it suitable for a wide range of skin types, including sensitive skin.
• Improved Skin Tone and Elasticity: Strengthens and increases skin tone and elasticity, contributing to a firmer, more lifted complexion.
• Water-Soluble: Easy to incorporate into aqueous formulations, ensuring smooth and transparent product textures.

Versatile Applications and Usage Areas in Advanced Skincare

The remarkable properties of Matrixyl KTTKS make it an indispensable ingredient for a broad spectrum of high-performance anti-aging and skin-rejuvenating cosmetic products:

• "Anti-Age" Serums and Active Gels:
  • Highly Concentrated Treatments: Ideal for creating potent serums and gels designed for targeted wrinkle reduction and overall skin rejuvenation. Their lightweight texture allows for rapid absorption and direct delivery of the peptide.
  • Daily Regimen Boosters: Integrate into daily skincare routines as a concentrated active step, applied before moisturizers.
• Leave-on Makeup Removers:
  • Unexpected Anti-Aging Benefit: While primarily for cleansing, incorporating Matrixyl KTTKS can offer a subtle, continuous anti-aging treatment, especially in micellar waters or gentle removers that are left on the skin.
• Eye Creams and Gels:
  • Delicate Area Treatment: Perfectly suited for the delicate skin around the eyes, targeting crow's feet, fine lines, and improving skin elasticity in this sensitive area.
  • Fatigue Reduction: Can contribute to a more rested appearance by improving skin texture and firmness around the eyes.
• Facial Masks:
  • Intensive Treatment: Formulate weekly or bi-weekly masks that provide a concentrated dose of Matrixyl KTTKS for an intensive anti-aging boost, leaving skin visibly smoother and more toned.
• "Anti-Age" Creams and Lotions:
  • Comprehensive Daily Care: Integrate into day and night creams, as well as body lotions, to provide continuous anti-aging benefits across larger skin areas.
  • Firming and Toning: Helps to improve the overall firmness and elasticity of the skin on the face, neck, and décolletage.
• Lifting Formulations:
  • Visibly Tighter Skin: Essential for products specifically designed to provide a lifting effect, improving skin's tautness and reducing sagging.
  • Contour Definition: Can be incorporated into products aimed at improving facial contours and promoting a more sculpted appearance.

Matrixyl KTTKS is a highly sought-after active ingredient for formulators dedicated to creating cutting-edge skincare products that deliver tangible anti-aging results, with worldwide shipping available for your convenience.

Cosmetic Recipe: "Youth Renew" Anti-Aging Serum

Create a potent, lightweight anti-aging serum designed to reduce wrinkles and improve skin elasticity, featuring Matrixyl KTTKS.

Instructions for Preparation:

1. Sanitization: Thoroughly sanitize all your equipment (beakers, stirring rods, containers) using isopropyl alcohol. Allow everything to air dry completely.
2. Hydrate Hyaluronate (Optional pre-step for better dissolution): In a separate small container, mix the Sodium Hyaluronate powder with a small amount of distilled water (e.g., 10-20ml). Let it sit for at least 15-30 minutes (or longer) to fully hydrate and form a gel.
3. Combine Phase A: In a clean beaker, measure out the main portion of distilled water, glycerin, and propanediol. Stir gently until fully mixed.
4. Incorporate Actives (Phase B): Add the pre-hydrated Sodium Hyaluronate gel (if used) to Phase A. If not pre-hydrating, add the powder directly and stir very well. Then add the Matrixyl KTTKS and liquid green tea extract. Stir the mixture thoroughly for several minutes until all ingredients are uniformly dispersed.
5. Add Preservative (Phase C): Add your chosen broad-spectrum preservative to the serum mixture. Stir well for at least 2-3 minutes to ensure it's evenly distributed throughout the liquid.
6. pH Adjustment (Crucial): Check the pH of your serum using a pH meter or strips. Matrixyl KTTKS is stable within a pH range of 4.0 – 6.0. Aim for a final product pH between 5.0 and 5.5 for optimal skin compatibility and preservative efficacy. Adjust if necessary using a diluted solution of lactic acid (to lower pH) or baking soda solution (to raise pH), adding drop by drop and rechecking.
7. Final Transfer: Carefully pour the finished serum into a clean, sterile bottle with a dropper or pump dispenser.

Recommendations for Use:

• Optimal Dosing: For anti-aging serums, a 5-10% inclusion rate of Matrixyl KTTKS is highly effective. Our recipe uses 5%, which provides significant benefits.
• Temperature Sensitivity: As an active peptide, Matrixyl KTTKS should always be added to the cool-down phase of your formulation, typically below 45°C (113°F) and ideally at room temperature (below 30°C/86°F), to preserve its efficacy.
• pH Stability: Pay close attention to the pH of your final product. Maintaining the pH within the recommended range of 4.0 – 6.0 is crucial for the stability and activity of Matrixyl KTTKS.
• Storage: Store finished products containing Matrixyl KTTKS in a cool, dark place, away from direct sunlight, to maintain ingredient integrity and product stability.
• Compatibility: Matrixyl KTTKS is water-soluble and generally compatible with most common cosmetic ingredients. However, always perform small-batch stability testing when combining new ingredients.
• Patch Test: Before widespread use, always perform a patch test on a small, inconspicuous area of skin to check for any sensitivities or reactions.
• Consistency: For visible results, regular and consistent application of products containing Matrixyl KTTKS is recommended.
