Product Description
Myristoyl Pentapeptide 17 lipopeptide active ingredient for eyelash eyebrow and hair formulations
Myristoyl Pentapeptide 17 is a synthetic lipopeptide composed of a short amino acid chain linked with a myristic fatty acid group. This structure enhances compatibility with aqueous and emulsion systems and improves peptide distribution within cosmetic formulations. The ingredient typically appears as a fine white to cream colored powder with neutral odor. It is commonly dispersed in glycerin or propanediol prior to incorporation into water based systems and added during the cooling phase to maintain peptide stability. The dry format offers high stability and predictable performance in industrial processing.
Properties and skin performance
In gel and serum systems it forms transparent or slightly opalescent textures with smooth viscosity. Formulations distribute easily across eyelash and eyebrow fibers creating a lightweight coating without stiffness. The sensory profile remains soft and balanced without tackiness.
Industry applications
Myristoyl Pentapeptide 17 is widely used in eyelash serums, eyebrow conditioning gels, lash conditioners, treatment mascaras and hair care formulations targeting hair fibers. The ingredient is suitable for functional cosmetic lines, private label projects and contract manufacturing due to stable peptide structure and scalable formulation processing.
Formula example
Purified water 580 ml
Propanediol 60 g
Glycerin 50 g
Hydroxyethylcellulose 7 g
Myristoyl Pentapeptide 17 2 g
Hydrolyzed keratin 22 g
Panthenol 12 g
Preservative system 2 g
Hydroxyethylcellulose is gradually 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 then added and mixed until homogeneous. The preservative system is incorporated and pH is adjusted to a stable range suitable for gel formulations. The final product is a transparent conditioning gel serum with stable viscosity.
Myristoyl Pentapeptide 17 is positioned for B2B manufacturers of eyelash eyebrow and hair care cosmetic products. It ensures formulation stability, industrial compatibility and reproducible texture in scalable manufacturing and contract production.
