Dipeptide diaminobutyroyl benzylamide diacetate

* A synthetic neuro peptide.

Functions:

This skin conditioning agent is categorized as a neuro-peptide, and believed to block the body's uptake of Na+, which in turn causes the facial muscles to relax and prevent the formation of expression lines (wrinkles). For this reason, it's mostly used in anti-aging products that are specifically designed to provide a safer alternative to botox. It serves as the active ingredient contained in SY-NAKE- an anti-wrinkle product that claims this ingredient to mimic the effects of Walgerin 1- a peptide found in snake venom known for its muscle relaxing properties. Unfortunately, most of the availble data supporting the ingredient's anti-aging abilities is far too biased and subjective to be taken seriously. You may find this ingredient in only a handful of skin care products such as anti-aging serum, eye cream and facial moisturizer/lotion.
