Pro Collagen Plus Peptides Serum

What are peptides? Peptides are fragments of proteins. They are short chains of amino acids that act as building blocks of proteins such as collagen, elastin and keratin. When amino acids are combined in certain formations, they create specific peptides (and there are hundreds of peptides). When peptides are formed in a certain way in Sokörpe Laboratories, they make specific proteins. These proteins are the foundations of the skin that are responsible for its texture, strength and resilience.

Smaller peptides, or oligopeptides, can get deep into the cellular level when applied topically. Because large proteins like collagen cannot get through the skin barrier, Sokörpe Laboratories has solved the problem by adding short peptide sequences to this highly potent serum.

These diverse biological, cell-penetrating peptides are produced through solid-phase peptide synthesis. Solid-phase peptide synthesis allows for the formation of synthetic peptides that would not exist naturally because of their unnatural amino acids but introduce the various compounds below into the cells.

The role of biomimetic peptides is essential for direct results, visible from the first application. Thanks to a molecular structure identical to that of our bodies, biomimetic peptides are intelligent active ingredients that are easily assimilated by the body, by mimicking the molecular structure of your cell.

What's In The Serum?

• Palmitoyl Oligopeptide (and) Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7 (Anti-wrinkle) is a laboratory created amino-peptide that when added to a culture of fibroblasts (key skin cells), stimulates collagen, elastin and glucosaminoglycans production. This peptide is composed of many amino acids to reduce skin inflammation and skin damage. This peptide stimulates the regeneration of collagen in the dermis and improves the epidermal barrier.

• Palmitoyl Tripeptide-38 (Anti-wrinkle) is a matrikine-mimetic compound that regulates cell activity, wound repair and collagen tissue remodeling. It stimulates six major constituents of the skin matrix and the dermal-epidermal junction to plump fine lines and boost skin repair.

• Palmitoyl Tripeptide-5 (Collagen) acts on specific skin receptors and stimulates the production of collagen in skin cells. It firms skin, reduces the appearance of wrinkles and fine-lines and makes skin overall look healthier and fresh.

• Acetyl Hexapeptide-8 (Muscle Relaxation) Commonly referred to as “Botox in a bottle”, is a neuropeptide compound that is used to reduce the appearance of wrinkles brought on by repeated facial expressions, such as smiling, frowning, or furrowing the brow in deep concentration or frustration. It effectively reduces the appearance of expression line wrinkles by using the SNARE complex. In a nutshell, it relaxes facial muscles, meaning they contract less—fewer contractions like squinting lead to fewer wrinkles.

•       Amino Acid Complex (7 natural skin benefiting amino acids)

•       Niacinamide (Vitamin B3)

•       Panthenol (Provitamin B5)

•       MSM (Organic Sulfur)

•       Sodium PCA

•       Organic Hyaluronic Acid (Sodium Hyaluronate) / Triple Molecular Weights

• Adenosine is one of four nucleoside building blocks to DNA and RNA, which are essential for all life. This yeast-derived ingredient functions as a good soothing and skin-restoring agent, decreasing the appearance of wrinkles by energizing the skin's surface. Clinical studies have shown adenosine led to significant improvements in skin smoothness, decreased appearance of crow's feet, and reduced depth of brow wrinkles.

• Plankton is a powerhouse nutrient! It protects the skin from UV radiation and blue light and helps to prevent pollutants and toxins from penetrating the skin. Furthermore, plankton has antibacterial properties and can strengthen the skin barrier. Algae are minerals that can help draw toxins from the skin, antioxidants and peptides. It is a miracle ingredient full of incredible therapeutic benefits for the skin. It conditions, hydrates, softens and detoxifies the skin, replenishing essential vitamins and minerals.

•  Wakame Bioferment is a species of seaweed (Undaria pinnatifida) that is a potent ingredient that efficiently detoxifies the skin by targeting internal pollution. Wakame Bioferment is derived from cultured wakame cells and is the solution to cellular longevity. This product targets the mitochondria, which has been shown to contribute to the longevity of cells and minimize damage at a cellular level. Over time skin loses its luminescence and begins to have a dry, dull appearance due to the amount of toxins people encounter every day. It is critical to provide the skin with nutrients, moisture and a way to detoxify.

• Yeast is a large group of fungi that ferment sugars; yeast is a source of beta-glucan, which is a good antioxidant. Yeast contributes to creating a healthier-looking skin surface due to its softening and conditioning action.

All ingredients are natural and this serum is 70% organic. However, the peptides are laboratory-created to fulfill the purpose to infuse the cell with our natural compounds and to stimulate collagen production.
