Eye Lash Penta Peptide

Eye Lash Penta Peptide in brief

Eye Lash Penta Peptide is a viscous liquid with the INCI Water, Glycerin, Myristoyl Pentapeptide-17, and the peptide carries CAS 959610-30-1. The supplier specification gives a pH of 3.5 to 4.5 and lists shampoos, hair care cosmetics, conditioners, balms, masks and serums. Myristoyl Pentapeptide-17 is one of the best-known lash peptides. Take the use level from the supplier documentation for your lot. The smallest pack is 0.33 oz (10 mL).

The lipopeptide behind lash serums

Myristoyl Pentapeptide-17 is a short peptide attached to myristic acid, a fatty acid that helps it interact with the hair and skin surface. In lash serums it is used for the look of longer, fuller and more defined lashes with regular use, and in brow serums for fuller looking brows. Scalp and hair products follow the same idea for fuller looking hair. Claims should stay on appearance.

Formats

A thin, clear serum with a fine brush is the classic lash and brow format, applied along the lash line once a day. Leave-on scalp serums can carry the peptide for a fuller hair story. In shampoos, conditioners and masks it plays a supporting role, since contact time is short.

A gentle base for the eye area

Lash serums need a very mild base. Avoid fragrance, essential oils and high alcohol levels, and choose a preservative suited to the eye area.

Processing and partners

Add the peptide liquid to the water phase at cool-down, below 40 °C, and stir until uniform. Check the final pH and keep it mildly acidic to neutral. Pair it with biotinoyl tripeptide-1 for a second hair peptide and with D-panthenol for conditioning. The AC Hair and Scalp Complex suits a scalp line. More are listed in our peptide solutions section.
