Tetrapeptide-30
Reduces UV-induced pigmentation and melanin production
Tetrapeptide-30 is a dual-function tetrapeptide with concurrent anti-inflammatory and mild depigmenting activity. It reduces pro-inflammatory cytokine production in skin cells while modulating melanin production pathways, making it uniquely suited for formulations that address both skin sensitivity and uneven skin tone simultaneously. Particularly effective for post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH), where both inflammation control and melanogenesis inhibition are simultaneously required.
Main characteristics
Tetrapeptide-30‘s dual mechanism, anti-inflammatory plus depigmenting, makes it one of the most versatile brightening actives for sensitive skin, addressing the common scenario where hyperpigmentation is driven or exacerbated by inflammation (PIH, melasma, acne-related dark spots). Compatible with niacinamide, vitamin C, and other brightening actives for synergistic systems. Stable at pH 5.0–7.5. Produced via SPPS to ≥95% purity (HPLC + MS).
Applications
- Brightening serums for sensitive skin
- Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) treatment formulations
- Anti-redness + brightening combination products
- Melasma treatment in sensitive skin types
- Research in dual anti-inflammatory/depigmenting peptide mechanisms
