INCI Name: Acetyl Tetrapeptide-40
Acetyl Tetrapeptide-40 is a synthetic peptide that decreases the realize of pro-inflammatory interleukins (IL-6 and IL-8) fighting against skin redness, erythema, and telangiectasias. It is known under the trade name Telangyn™ and the sequence is Acetyl-Ala-Thr-Asn-Thr.
Cathelicidins are antimicrobial peptides that protect the skin from infections. LL-37 is a 37-amino-acid-long peptide, a human cathelicidin. Its overexpression increases pro-inflammatory interleukin production resulting in an excessive inflammatory response appearing as erythema, irritation, or similar skin conditions.
Rich in effective fatty acids, which are key in supporting the skin's ceramide production.
It is mainly used in cosmetics due to its oil-absorbing and deep-cleansing properties.
