Acetyl Hexapeptide-8 (Argireline)

Acetyl Hexapeptide-8, commercially known as Argireline, is a synthetic hexapeptide that mimics the N-terminal end of SNAP-25, a protein essential for neurotransmitter release at neuromuscular junctions. By competing with SNAP-25 in the SNARE complex, Argireline reduces the release of neurotransmitters that cause facial muscle contraction, thereby diminishing expression lines and wrinkles. Often marketed as 'Botox in a jar,' clinical studies demonstrate up to 30% wrinkle depth reduction after 30 days of topical application. Argireline is one of the most commercially successful cosmetic peptides globally. We supply it in pharmaceutical-grade bulk quantities for cosmetic formulation houses and contract manufacturers.
