    【Product Overview】 We are a specialized global supplier of Pentapeptide-18, famously known by the trade reference Leuphasyl. This synthetic pentapeptide is an enkephalin-mimetic designed to work via a unique mechanism: modulating calcium channels to reduce neuronal excitability. We provide high-purity, cosmetic-grade powder to formulators looking to create "Synergistic Anti-Wrinkle Systems," particularly those aiming to boost the efficacy of Acetyl Hexapeptide-8 formulations.

    【Key Advantages】

    The "Argireline Amplifier": Pentapeptide-18 is the industry's preferred partner for Acetyl Hexapeptide-8 (Argireline). While Argireline targets the SNARE complex, Pentapeptide-18 targets Calcium Channels. Using them together attacks wrinkle formation from two different pathways, creating a proven synergistic effect that significantly enhances wrinkle reduction compared to using either peptide alone.

    Enkephalin-Mimetic Mechanism: It mimics the natural mechanism of enkephalins (endogenous opioids). By coupling to the enkephalin receptor, it inhibits the entry of Calcium ions (Ca2+) into the neuron. This hyperpolarizes the neuron, reducing the release of acetylcholine and effectively relaxing facial muscles.

    Expression Line Specialist: It is specifically engineered to target the depth of expression wrinkles caused by muscle contraction, showing excellent results in the forehead and periorbital (eye) areas.

    High Stability: Our lyophilized powder is highly stable and water-soluble, making it easy to formulate into aqueous solutions, gels, and emulsions without complex delivery systems.

    【Logistics & Service】

    Cosmetic Grade Quality: Manufactured under strict GMP guidelines for cosmetic ingredients, ensuring high purity and safety for topical use.

    Global Export: We are experienced in shipping cosmetic peptides globally. We provide full HS Code support (typically 2937.19 or 3504.00) and COA/MSDS documentation for your regulatory files.

    Formulation Advice: We can provide technical guidance on the optimal Combination Ratio (e.g., 5% Pentapeptide-18 + 5% Acetyl Hexapeptide-8) to create a "Botox-like" effect in your product line.

    Regulatory Disclaimer: This product is supplied as a Cosmetic Raw Material for further manufacturing and R&D use only. It is intended for topical application and is not for injection.
