Hazard Information | Back Directory | [Description]
Decapeptide-12 is an oligopeptide that is made up of just 10 amino acids. This oligopeptide is known for its anti-tyrosinase activity. Tyrosinase is accountable for producing melanin in the skin. Decapeptide 12 connects to tyrosinase and prevents it from catalyzing the oxidation of phenols – the initial step in melanin creation. It’s able to interfere with tyrosinase and lighten skin. |
