Peptide Compound
A hydrolyzed collagen-derived amino acid mixture used in cosmetics as a humectant, skin-conditioning, and film-forming ingredient. It is composed mainly of small amino acids and collagen-derived residues that help bind water and improve the feel of skin and hair products. In skincare, it is typically used to support hydration, softness, and a smoother skin finish rather than to directly replace native collagen.
