Palmitoyl Hexapeptide-19

Other names: BoNT-L

Palmitoyl Hexapeptide-19, also known as BoNT-L, is a synthetic peptide that is used in the cosmetic industry to reduce wrinkles and improve overall skin texture. This substance is known for its ability to mimic the body's natural peptides, thereby stimulating the production of collagen and elastin - two essential proteins that are responsible for skin elasticity and firmness. Due to its effect, Palmitoyl Hexapeptide-19 is often included in anti-ageing products.

For example, Palmitoyl Hexapeptide-19 can be found in day and night creams, serums for the face, eye or neck area or even face masks. It is a popular ingredient for brands that focus on the production of luxury cosmetics with an emphasis on skin rejuvenation. Due to its effect, it is unfortunately one of the more expensive ingredients, but the resulting effect on the skin is significant. Moreover, given its concentration in products, it is generally considered safe for most skin types. Despite this, it's always important to test a new product on a small piece of skin to make sure you won't have an allergic reaction to it. If you have sensitive skin or are allergic, you should consult a dermatologist before using products containing Palmitoyl Hexapeptide-19.
