Sh-Oligopeptide-2

Other Name: Recombinant human IGF-1; Insulin-Like Growth Factor (IGF-l) Sh-Oligopeptide-2
Appearance: White Powder

Function
1. Reduces and prevents lines and wrinkles by actively generating new skin cells;
2. Increases collagen and elastin levels and reduce blotchiness;
3. Helps activate skin tissue and restore elasticity, contributing to a firmer, more youthful look;
4. Provides stimuli for tissue healing and repair, and plays a role in the re-epithelialization and activation of fibroblasts;
5. Refines texture glides effectively and slims your face and body with a fat burning effect;
6. Promotes hair growth while stimulating hair follicles;

Description About Insulin-Like Growth Factor (IGF-l) Sh-Oligopeptide-2
Insulin-Like Growth Factor (IGF-1) sh-Oligopeptide-2 is a basic, single-chain polypeptide comprising over 70 amino acids with a molecular weight of 7.5 kDa. It promotes cell division, stimulates tissue and organ differentiation, and replenishes collagen, thereby exerting a conditioning effect—such as boosting metabolism and stimulating cell regeneration, proliferation, and new collagen formation. While its effects may be gradual, it offers a high safety profile and is typically used in combination with proteins.
IGF levels decline with age, reducing the responsiveness of skin fibroblasts. Insulin-Like Growth Factor (IGF-1) sh-Oligopeptide-2 has the ability to stimulate the proliferation of epithelial cells and fibroblasts. Due to its capacity to activate cell growth, it is considered a crucial growth factor for anti-aging. Research also indicates that EGF and IGF-1 work synergistically to promote keratinocyte proliferation. They act as chemical messengers between cells, "switching" fundamental biological activities on and off, and contribute to increasing the production rates of collagen and elastin.
SH-Oligopeptide-2 is a synthetic signaling peptide used primarily in cosmetic and personal care products for its anti-aging and skin-repairing properties.
