Oligopeptide-54

Oligopeptide-54 is a synthetic 12-amino-acid cosmetic peptide used in advanced hair and scalp care formulations. It functions as a conditioning ingredient and is designed to support scalp follicle activity, promote healthier-looking hair, and help reduce the appearance of excessive hair shedding. Oligopeptide-54 is marketed for improving the appearance of hair thickness, density, and overall volume, making it an ideal ingredient for hair growth serums, scalp treatments, and daily-use hair care products. Its compatibility with water-based formulations allows for easy incorporation into scalp care products. It can be used at low concentrations without significantly affecting product viscosity or texture, making it suitable for large-scale manufacturing and the development of professional hair and scalp care formulations. These performance benefits are based on cosmetic ingredient marketing claims and should be verified against supplier testing data.
