We often hear about peptides and wonder what they are. In cosmetics, it's easy to get confused with the names of the many ingredients that make up different products. But what are peptides? They are chains of amino acids that build fundamental proteins for our skin: collagen, elastin, and keratin. Peptides also help the skin in other ways: they hydrate, tone, and soothe it. Peptides allow the skin to retain moisture by improving its barrier function. Without them, the skin would lose firmness, hydration, compactness, and elasticity, which is why they are widely used in cosmetic formulas. The use of peptides is recommended from the age of 40-45 for skin without many wrinkles; in more severe cases, it can even start at 35. To achieve the maximum cosmetic functionality, consistency is necessary because the chemical action is based on the accumulation of the substance on the skin. Products containing peptides can be used by everyone because, as an ingredient, they do not cause allergic reactions, rarely have any side effects, are well tolerated by all, and with correct and consistent application, they are effective and can help improve the appearance of the skin. Peptides are the future of cosmetics, although their cost is still high at the moment, raising the price of the finished product. We have chosen to use these substances in several of our products because we believe they can truly help maintain healthy, firm, toned, elastic, and radiant-looking skin.
