Melitan peptide active as a functional ingredient for pigment control and formulation stability in industrial systems
Melitan is a peptide based raw material with INCI Glycerin Water Dextran and Acetyl Hexapeptide 1 designed for use as a functional ingredient in formulation systems targeting control of visual characteristics and pigment related processes. In global B2B manufacturing this ingredient is widely used in cosmetic systems SPA applications professional formulations and contract manufacturing where stability and predictable performance are required.
From a technological perspective Melitan is water soluble and integrates efficiently into aqueous phases providing uniform distribution across formulation systems. It does not affect viscosity or structural integrity and remains stable under controlled pH and temperature conditions. In industrial manufacturing it ensures consistent behavior during scaling and production which makes it suitable for large scale formulation processes.
Properties and functional role
Acts as a peptide based functional active supporting visual uniformity and system balance. Enhances compatibility with emulsifiers humectants stabilizers and other active ingredients.
Maintains structural integrity and does not alter rheological properties allowing flexible formulation design across multiple product categories.
Properties and result
