Nonapeptide-1

Nonapeptide-1 competitively blocks the entrance of receptors and various factor signals on melanocytes, weakens the activity of melanocytes, reduces the amount of melanin produced, and has the effect of even and brightening the skin tone. As a small molecule active peptide, Nonapeptide-1 prevents the formation of key targets of melanin by competitively antagonizing the MC1R receptor. When α-MSH reaches the extracellular binding site of the pigment mother cell, it will be found that the site has already been occupied by Nonapeptide-1, thereby achieving the purpose of reducing the binding of α-MSH to MC1R and inhibiting the production of melanin. Therefore, the whitening method of Nonapeptide-1 is to effectively inhibit the production of melanin from the source, making the skin white and translucent.

The main source of melanin formation in human cells is ultraviolet radiation. When ultraviolet rays are irradiated to the skin, various chemical reactions will occur in the skin to produce melanin. Most existing whitening ingredients inhibit the production of melanin by inhibiting the activity of tyrosinase. However, Nonapeptide-1 takes a different approach and acts on the source of melanin production, long before the activity of tyrosinase is activated.

1. Beauty spot lightening: Nonapeptide-1 is a bionic peptide. It can specifically bind to melanocytes in the body, effectively prevent and avoid the stimulation of melanocytes, reduce the activity of tyrosinase, and thus reduce the formation of melanin in the body. It is often used to lighten spots and brighten skin tone, and is widely used in women's skin care products.

2. Hydrating and moisturizing: Adding nonapeptide-1 to skin care products can effectively hydrolyze sodium hyaluronate and help the skin absorb it. It helps to improve the skin's microenvironment, improve skin roughness, and has a good hydrating and moisturizing effect.

3. Repair scars: The special ingredients in nonapeptide-1 have the effect of promoting the degradation of scar tissue collagen polymers, which can effectively help the skin generate new collagen and quickly lighten scars. At the same time, it reduces the formation of scar tissue, stimulates skin healing, and makes the skin tighter.
