Peptide-Based Formulations for Skin Barrier Restoration
44 patents in this list
Updated:
The skin's barrier function depends on a complex interplay of lipids, proteins, and cellular structures in the stratum corneum. When this barrier is compromised, whether through aging, environmental damage, or disease, transepidermal water loss can increase from a normal range of 4-8 g/m²/h to over 25 g/m²/h, leading to inflammation, dehydration, and impaired healing responses.
The fundamental challenge lies in developing peptide sequences that can both penetrate the stratum corneum effectively and trigger specific biological responses without disrupting the delicate balance of skin barrier homeostasis.
This page brings together solutions from recent research—including cell-penetrating peptides with targeted delivery mechanisms, bioactive sequences that enhance keratinocyte function, peptides that strengthen dermal-epidermal junction adhesion, and compounds that modulate immune cell responses. These and other approaches focus on practical formulation strategies that optimize peptide stability, bioavailability, and therapeutic efficacy in real-world applications.
