Biotinoyl Tripeptide-1 is the product of the reaction between biotin and tripeptide-1. It has a high affinity with hair proteins, which allows it to accelerate their growth. Indeed, it reduces the production of DHT (dihydrotestosterone), the main factor contributing to baldness, increases hair growth, promotes the proliferation of keratinocytes in the hair bulb and contributes to optimal hair anchoring by stimulating the synthesis and organisation of adhesion molecules such as laminin 5 and collagen IV. Biotinyl-GHK can be used on hair as well as hair in other areas such as eyelashes or eyebrows.
