The skincare world is on a constant quest to find ingredients that deliver exceptional performance, while having minimal impact on the environment.
Peptides is one such ingredient. They have long been hailed as one of the most effective solutions for skincare. Known for their remarkable benefits, Peptides play a crucial role in providing pro-aging support.
Their eco-friendly and sustainable properties however are not as well known, and often go under-appreciated.
Melvory’s latest innovation, Tetrapeptide (a type of peptide which consists of four amino acids), is a breakthrough ingredient that delivers high-performance skincare with minimal environmental impact.
In this blog post, we examine why Tetrapeptide is a stand out ingredient. It is also a great example of where the future of skincare is heading.
Tetrapeptides have Minimal Impact on the Environment
Tetrapeptides have minimal impact on the environment because they are naturally derived, they are produced using green chemistry principles and they are biodegradable. We explain each of these aspects in more detail below.
Naturally-derived peptide: Tetrapeptide is formulated from amino acids, which are derived from renewable resources and natural proteins. This ingredient is therefore sustainable, as well as effective.
Green Chemistry Process: Tetrapeptide is produced using green chemistry principles, which aims to reduce or eliminate the use and generation of hazardous substances. This method not only makes the production process safer but also minimises its environmental footprint.
Biodegradability: According to OECD Guidelines, Melvory’s Tetrapeptide is readily biodegradable. This means that when it breaks down, it releases amino acids that are naturally found in the ecosystem.
Tetrapeptides have Remarkable Benefits for your Skin
Peptides have created quite a buzz in the skincare world for some time, and for good reason too!
These small chains of amino acids are the building blocks of proteins. They’re essential for maintaining skin health and vitality.
Let’s carefully examine the benefits of Peptides and understand their role in reinforcing the skin barrier.
Enhanced Collagen Production: Peptides stimulate the production of collagen, a protein that gives skin its structure and firmness. As we age, collagen production naturally decreases, leading to more wrinkles and sagging. Incorporating peptides into your skincare routine can help to counteract decline, promoting a more youthful appearance.
Improved Skin Barrier Function: The skin barrier is the outermost layer of the skin. It offers protection from environmental stressors, pathogens and moisture loss. Peptides help to strengthen this barrier, ensuring it remains in tact and resilient. A robust skin barrier is crucial for maintaining hydration and preventing irritants from penetrating the skin.
Anti-inflammatory Properties: Peptides possess anti-inflammatory properties that can soothe irritated skin and reduce redness. This makes them particularly beneficial for use by individuals with sensitive skin or conditions such as Rosacea.
Faster Wound Healing: Peptides often accelerate wound healing and reduce the appearance of scars, by promoting cell regeneration and repair. This regenerative effect is key to maintaining healthy, blemish-free skin.
Hydration and Elasticity: Peptides help to maintain skin hydration by enhancing the skin’s ability to retain moisture. This leads to plumper, more elastic skin, which is less prone to fine lines and wrinkles.
Achieve Radiant Skin with Melvory's New Peptide & Probiotic Face Cream (Say Goodbye to Expensive Laser Clinics, Devices and Once-a-Week Treatments)
Melvory’s high-performing and sustainable Tetrapeptide is an active ingredient in our Peptide + Probiotic face cream.
The innovative formulation was inspired by microcurrent devices. The cream mimics the benefits of electrical stimulation to the skin, helping to reduce the visibility of wrinkles, and provide a lifting effect to the upper face.
Melvory’s innovative cream, when used daily for six weeks, will help to stimulate collagen growth, enhance muscle tone, and strengthen the collagen network within your skin.
Consistent use will help to effectively address uneven, sagging skin and promote a healthier complexion.
Is Melvory’s new Peptide and Probiotic Face Cream Effective?
The following graph depicts collagen gel contraction (expressed in percentages) in both electrical stimulation and Melvory’s Peptide + Probiotic face cream groups as measured against the Control group.
A triorbital skin lift effect can also be observed in volunteers who used Melvory’s new Peptide + Probiotic face cream, including supraorbital eyelid and eyebrow lift, orbital crow’s feet lift and infraorbital upper cheek lift. The appearance of wrinkles were also minimised.
Eyebrow Lift Effect
The eyebrow lift effect was determined by measuring the distance between the middle point of the eyelashes base and the end of the eyebrow arch.
The following two volunteers were measured for Visibility of Wrinkles and Wrinkle Length after 7 days of using our new formula.
Visibility of Wrinkles
Wrinkle visibility was measured on the crow’s feet region by means of the 2D Framescan imaging system after 7 days of treatment.
Wrinkle Length
The length of the wrinkles on the crow’s feet and underneath the eye region was measured by means of a real 3D Microtopography imaging system based on fringe projection (PRIMOS) after 7 days of treatment.
These results suggest that there is no need to invest money and time on laser clinics and devices.
Consistent use of Melvory’s new Peptide & Probiotic Cream yields similar outcomes to the use of a microcurrent device. Our advanced formula combines the power of peptides and probiotics to firm and lift the skin and reduce breakouts.
The future of skincare is bright: Melvory’s latest formulation demonstrates that skincare can be both effective and eco-conscious.
