About Thioctoyl Pentapeptide-4

Thioctoyl Pentapeptide-4 is a raw material obtained from the reaction of thioctic acid and Pentapeptide-4.[1] The number 4 at the end of the name is only an identification number distinguishing different peptides; it does not indicate the amount used or a ranking of efficacy. In cosmetics, it is used to slow the oxidation of formulation ingredients caused by reaction with oxygen, lighten color in hair or skin, and reduce tangling and rough feel in hair for smoother grooming.[2] It is also used to protect the skin from external factors.[2]
