Product Description
Octapeptide 2 peptide active ingredient for cosmetic formulations
Octapeptide 2 is a synthetic peptide ingredient used in development of modern cosmetic formulations. Peptides belong to a category of functional cosmetic actives used in different skin care systems. Octapeptide 2 can be incorporated into aqueous solutions, gel based textures and emulsion formulations. Due to compatibility with different cosmetic bases the ingredient is commonly used in development of cosmetic serums, creams and gel systems. Peptide ingredients of this type are widely used in laboratory formulation development and industrial cosmetic manufacturing. Octapeptide 2 is often incorporated into complex cosmetic formulations and active ingredient systems. The raw material is used in private label projects, contract manufacturing and industrial cosmetic production. The ingredient is widely used by cosmetic manufacturers and formulation laboratories developing new cosmetic products.
Properties and formulation interaction
Within cosmetic formulations Octapeptide 2 functions as a peptide active integrated into different cosmetic textures. In serums, creams and gel based systems the ingredient distributes evenly throughout the formulation matrix and becomes part of the active ingredient complex. In aqueous and emulsion systems the peptide can be easily incorporated into the formulation structure.
Applications across industries
Octapeptide 2 is used in development of skin care products including creams, serums, gels and cosmetic masks. In hair care formulations the ingredient may be incorporated into shampoos, conditioners and hair masks. In body care formulations the peptide may be used in different cosmetic compositions. In SPA formulations the ingredient may be incorporated into professional cosmetic systems. In formulation laboratories Octapeptide 2 is widely used in development of cosmetic formulations and peptide complexes. The ingredient may also be incorporated into ingredient systems for functional products, beverages and botanical complexes. Octapeptide 2 is suitable for private label development, contract manufacturing and industrial production.
Recipe for peptide cosmetic serum
Distilled water — 71 ml
Cornflower hydrosol — 15 ml
Glycerin — 7 ml
Octapeptide 2 — 2 g
Panthenol — 3 ml
Chamomile extract — 1 ml
Cosmetic preservative — 1 ml
Preparation process
Distilled water is combined with cornflower hydrosol to create the aqueous base of the formulation. Glycerin is incorporated and mixed until evenly distributed. Octapeptide 2 is dissolved in the water phase until fully integrated within the formulation system. Panthenol is added and blended until the mixture becomes homogeneous. Chamomile extract is incorporated and the formulation is mixed until a stable peptide serum texture suitable for cosmetic manufacturing is obtained. At the final stage the preservative is added and the mixture is blended until a stable cosmetic product ready for production is achieved.
