Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-20
INCI: Glycerin, Aqua, Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-20. A palmitic-acid-conjugated signal tetrapeptide supplied as a ready-to-use liquid solution. Often called GreyReverse
Function: a peptide active that works by stimulating Alpha-MSH (alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone) signalling, supporting the natural hair pigmentation process to help reduce the appearance of grey and white hair.
How to use
- Dosage range: 0.1–5% of your total formula. Recommended dosage: 5%. This refers to the solution as supplied, not the pure peptide.
- Add at the last step of your formulation, once your mixture is below 40°C. The peptide is heat-sensitive — avoid temperatures above 40°C.
- Formulate at pH 5.00–7.00.
- Soluble in water.
- Do not apply neat to the skin or scalp. This is a formulation additive, not a finished product — always blend it into a serum, tonic or leave-on treatment, and patch test any new formula before regular use.
