Formulation Deep Dive

Maelove Peptide Squad Collagen Renewal Serum is a water-based, multi-functional corrective serum designed to stimulate collagen synthesis and improve skin architecture. The carrier system utilizes a high concentration of humectants, including Glycerin and Propanediol, paired with Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil to create a lightweight, bio-available delivery vehicle that balances hydration with rapid absorption. The active strategy features a synergistic 4-peptide complex comprising Copper Tripeptide-1, Acetyl Hexapeptide-8 (Argireline), Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1, and Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7 (Matrixyl 3000) to simultaneously target dermal remodeling and neurotransmitter inhibition of expression lines. This performance is bolstered by Niacinamide (Vitamin B3) for barrier fortification and Sodium Hyaluronate for multi-depth moisture retention. The formula is stabilized via a sophisticated polymer network of Carbomer, Xanthan Gum, and Sclerotium Gum, and utilizes a broad-spectrum preservation system featuring Phenoxyethanol and Ethylhexylglycerin for long-term microbial stability.
