Decapeptide-12 is a ten-amino-acid cosmetic peptide powder from Peptide Sciences used in research on even skin tone.
Decapeptide-12 Research Overview
Decapeptide-12 has been studied as an inhibitor of tyrosinase, the key enzyme in melanin synthesis. In cosmetic science it is tested as a peptide alternative to traditional brightening agents in formulations.
