펩타이드 (올리고펩타이드 · 폴리펩타이드)
Peptides are a broad category of substances formed by short chains of amino acids. In cosmetics, they are frequently used in formulations aimed at elasticity and wrinkle care, with numbers after the name distinguishing different types.
- INCI name
- sh-Oligopeptide-1 / rh-Oligopeptide-2 / rh-Polypeptide-1
- Also known as
- 펩타이드, 올리고펩타이드, 폴리펩타이드
How it works
Peptides are substances in which amino acids are linked in a chain; shorter chains are called oligopeptides, and longer ones are called polypeptides. In cosmetic ingredient lists, they are distinguished by prefixes and numbers, such as SH-Oligopeptide-1, rh-Oligopeptide-2, and rh-Polypeptide-1.
Since peptides are not a single ingredient but a category, the research context differs for each type. Unlike ingredients officially designated as functional in cosmetics, their scope of claims is narrower, so it is more accurate to read them as information showing the direction of formulation design.
