Peptides

They are natural or synthetic compounds, which contain two or more amino acids linked by the carboxyl group of one amino acid to the amino group of another.

They are normally smaller than a protein and the amino acids contained can be alike or different.

Use of peptides

Peptides can be used for many therapeutic medicinal purposes, as well as in high-end cosmetic products - like the Dermaxime range of anti-aging skin care cosmetics.

Synthetic peptides have been developed, which contain active ingredients that can rival the results of laser treatments or surgical face lifts and there are continuous new developments and advances made in this field.

One of the leading peptide development laboratories in the world is Lipotec – based in Spain – and they are our supplier of active anti-aging peptides, such as:

• Antarcticine
• Serilesine
• Aldenine
• Eyeseryl
• Liporeductyl
