Acetyl Hexapeptide-1 (Powder) is a cosmetic peptide powder for Alpha-MSH inspired pigmentation concepts, including gray-hair appearance support, hair-darkening care, and controlled self-tanning or tone-deepening products.
Physical form: This product is supplied as a freeze-dried powder.
Acetyl Hexapeptide-1 is used in formulas that target the melanin pathway in skin and hair follicles. This makes it a strong active choice for brands developing advanced hair-color maintenance, scalp/hair serums, and cosmetic skin-tone products where a peptide-based pigmentation story is needed.
Product Description: This powder form is suitable for formulators who want to prepare their own stock solution or premix and control the carrier system, dosage, and application area. It can be used to build the same benefit direction as MSH Black™ style products while giving more freedom over formula format and active delivery.
| Formula target | Best use direction |
|---|---|
| Gray-hair appearance | Scalp and hair serums positioned to reduce the look of newly emerging gray hair over routine use. |
| Hair-darkening support | Targeted formulas for melanin-pathway cosmetic support in hair follicles. |
| Self-tanning / tone-deepening | Controlled skin-tone products where the application area can be managed precisely. |
Application caution: For hair products, avoid overspray, dripping, or uncontrolled contact with skin areas where darkening is not desired.
Usage: Hair serums, scalp tonics, targeted gray-hair appearance products, self-tanning products, and controlled tone-deepening formulas.
Mixing method:
- Pre-dissolve in a small compatible water/glycol phase before adding to the main batch.
- Add during cool-down, preferably below 40°C, and avoid prolonged heat exposure.
- Check final pH, clarity, odor, color, and active stability before scale-up.
Usage rate: 0.1-1.0%, with 0.5% as a typical starting point. If preparing a stock solution, calculate dosage by delivered peptide level and validate color response, stability, and skin compatibility in the finished formula.
Product characteristics: white to off-white peptide powder.
Solubility: Pre-dissolve in water/glycol systems; confirm complete dissolution and color stability in the final base.
Storage: Keep tightly closed, dry, protected from light and heat. Refrigerated storage is preferred for long-term peptide stability.
