Product Description
Myristoyl Pentapeptide 17 lipopeptide active ingredient for eyelash and eyebrow formulations
Myristoyl Pentapeptide 17 is a synthetic cosmetic peptide consisting of a short amino acid chain linked to a myristic fatty acid group. This lipopeptide structure improves compatibility with aqueous and emulsion systems and supports efficient distribution within cosmetic formulations. The ingredient is typically supplied as a fine white to light cream powder with neutral odor. It is commonly pre dispersed in glycerin or propanediol before incorporation into water based systems and added during the cooling phase to maintain peptide stability. The dry format provides high stability and accurate dosing for industrial scale processing.
Properties and skin performance
In gel and serum formulations it creates a transparent or slightly opalescent structure with smooth viscosity. Products containing this peptide spread easily across lash and brow fibers forming a light coating without stiffness. Sensory profile remains smooth and balanced without tackiness when properly formulated.
Industry applications
Myristoyl Pentapeptide 17 is widely used in eyelash serums, eyebrow gels, lash conditioners, treatment mascaras and clear styling gels. It is incorporated into functional cosmetic lines dedicated to eyelash and eyebrow care as well as eye area cosmetic formulations. The ingredient is suitable for private label development and contract manufacturing due to stable peptide structure and scalable processing.
Formula example
Purified water 550 ml
Propanediol 50 g
Glycerin 40 g
Xanthan gum 3 g
Myristoyl Pentapeptide 17 2 g
Hydrolyzed keratin 18 g
Panthenol 12 g
Preservative system 2 g
Xanthan gum is dispersed into purified water under continuous mixing until a uniform gel base forms. Myristoyl Pentapeptide 17 is pre blended with propanediol and glycerin and incorporated into the gel phase with constant mixing. Hydrolyzed keratin and panthenol are added and mixed until homogeneous. The preservative system is introduced and pH is adjusted to a stable range suitable for gel formulations. The final result is a clear eyelash and eyebrow conditioning gel with smooth viscosity and stable structure.
Myristoyl Pentapeptide 17 is positioned for B2B manufacturers of eyelash and eyebrow cosmetic products. It ensures formulation stability, industrial compatibility and reproducible texture in scalable manufacturing and contract production.
