Abstract:

Peptides are a kind of active ingredient with skin care effect, which has been highly praised by the market and consumers in recent years. To understand the current situation of peptide application in personal care products globally, the brief history of peptide applications and their naming rules were reviewed. The peptide materials in Inventory of Existing Cosmetic Ingredients in China (2021 edition) and International Cosmetic Ingredient Dictionary and Handbook (2018 edition) were compared, and the products containing peptides and the companies with extensive use of peptides in the global market of personal care products from 2016 to 2020 were surveyed. 14 peptides that were frequently used were further studied and divided into three categories according to their action mechanism: signal peptide, neurotransmitter inhibitory peptide and carrier peptide. Some other active peptides were also briefly described. The application trend of peptides in personal care products was also prospected to provide reference for their further research, development, and application.

Key words: peptide, signal peptide, neurotransmitter inhibitor peptide, carrier peptide, personal care product
