Active ingredient
Palmitoyl Tripeptide-8
A palmitoylated synthetic tripeptide that mimics the anti-inflammatory signaling domain of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH). Activates melanocortin MC-1R receptors on keratinocytes and immune cells, triggering the same anti-inflammatory cascade as the endogenous neuropeptide. Used in Dr. Jart+ Cicapair formulas and other K-beauty calming products for its potent yet gentle anti-inflammatory and sensitivity-reducing properties.
