Hexapeptide-9 is a high-purity cosmetic peptide powder for ECM-support, smoother-looking texture, wrinkle appearance, and firmness formulas.

Physical form: This product is supplied as a freeze-dried powder.

This peptide is well suited for leave-on anti-aging products where the formula needs a refined signal-peptide story at a low delivered level. It works well in serums, gels, creams, masks, and targeted products for face, neck, and areas where texture and firmness are key concerns.

Product Description: Use Hexapeptide-9 when developing products positioned for smoother-looking skin, improved firmness appearance, and visible wrinkle-care support. The powder format gives formulators control over stock solution concentration, pH, preservative system, peptide recovery, and final sensory profile.

Usage: Anti-aging serums, firming gels, creams, lotions, masks, neck products, and targeted leave-on peptide treatments.

Mixing method:

- Pre-dissolve in purified water, water/propanediol, water/butylene glycol, or water/glycerin before adding to the main batch.

- Add at the final step during cool-down when the formula is below 40°C. Avoid hot emulsification, hot-fill processing, and prolonged heating.

- Recommended finished-product pH is 5.0-7.0.

- Confirm clarity, preservative compatibility, peptide recovery, and irritation profile in the final formula.

Usage rate: 0.001-0.01% pure peptide powder. Start at the low end for first prototypes and adjust by assay, stability, irritation, and claim substantiation.

Product characteristics: white to off-white cosmetic peptide powder.

Solubility: Best handled through a water/glycol stock solution; dispersible in cream or gel bases. Do not assume direct oil solubility without validation.

Storage: Store tightly closed, protected from moisture. Keep refrigerated at 2-8°C for long-term storage; avoid repeated opening and freeze-thaw cycling.
