Formulation Deep Dive

Multi Peptides & GF (Growth Factor) Advanced Lifting Serum by Allies of Skin is a high-performance aqueous treatment designed to target dermal structural integrity and visible signs of aging. The formulation utilizes a sophisticated carrier system based on Water and Glycerin, balanced with Heptyl Glucoside and Isodecyl Neopentanoate to ensure a lightweight, spreadable texture that facilitates the delivery of its concentrated active payload. Performance is driven by a synergistic blend of sh-Oligopeptide-1 (Growth Factor) and a multifaceted peptide complex, including Dipeptide Diaminobutyroyl Benzylamide Diacetate and Pentapeptides, which work alongside Copper Lysinate/Prolinate to stimulate collagen synthesis and improve skin firmness. This biological activity is supported by Dimethyl Sulfone (MSM) and Phospholipids to enhance cellular resilience and barrier function. The system is stabilized by a robust hydrocolloid network of Xanthan Gum, Acacia Senegal Gum, and Sclerotium Gum, and is protected by a broad-spectrum preservative blend including Phenoxyethanol and Leuconostoc/Radish Root Ferment Filtrate.
