Myristoyl Hexapeptide-16 is a synthetic peptide composed of six amino acids (hexapeptide) with a myristoyl group attached. The myristoyl modification increases the peptide’s lipophilicity, which enhances skin penetration and stability in cosmetic formulations.
This peptide is primarily used in hair care and scalp treatments, as it is known to stimulate keratin production, support hair follicle health, and promote hair growth. By improving the microenvironment around the hair follicle, Myristoyl Hexapeptide-16 helps strengthen hair, reduce shedding, and improve hair density.
