Product Description

Lupine Peptides is a versatile plant-based active ingredient extracted from the seeds of sweet white lupine through an advanced seed extract extraction method involving enzymatic hydrolysis. This method maximises the potency of the peptides, making them highly bioavailable for skincare and haircare products. Hydrolysed lupine seed extract is particularly good for hair strength, especially for bleached and chemically treated hair, and as a film-forming agent for the skin.

With their rich amino acid profile, Lupine Peptides support the structure and texture of the formulation, for smoother, firmer skin and stronger, more resilient hair. Clear to light yellow-orange and with a botanical aroma, this ingredient is perfect for organic and conventional beauty ranges. Lupine seed extract derived from lupine proteins is known to strengthen hair and smooth the skin surface. Organic sweet white lupine is a key ingredient that firms the skin and supports the overall health and maintenance of the skin structure.

Gentle yet effective Lupine Peptides fits with the clean beauty trend, gluten-free, paraben-free free and bio-enzymatic process without harsh chemicals. For brands and formulators looking for high-performing, sustainable ingredients.

What are Lupine Peptides

Lupine Peptides are a plant-based natural peptide derived from the enzymatic hydrolysis of lupine proteins. These peptides are rich in amino acids and are good for both skin and hair. Known to strengthen hair and form a protective film on the skin surface, Lupine Peptides are a versatile ingredient in cosmetic products. They are particularly valued for skin firming and hair protection, making them perfect for natural and organic formulations. Whether in skin and hair conditioners, creams, or lotions, Lupine Peptides is a plant-based solution that fits with the clean beauty trend.

There are over 200 genus within the Lupin family, and they have been used in one form or another since the Ancient Egyptians.

The whole lupin plant is considered to be an important source of molecules for cosmetic and nutritional products.

Mechanism of Action

The mechanism of action of Lupine Peptides is multifaceted for skin and hair. One of their main functions is to form a film on the skin surface to lock in moisture and protect the skin from environmental stressors. This film is crucial for healthy skin and to prevent damage from sun exposure and pollution.

In hair care, Lupine Peptides repair and restore the dermal-epidermal junction, the layer that connects the dermis to the epidermis. This restoration strengthens the hair, making it more resilient and less prone to breakage. By maintaining the elasticity of the skin, they also play a role in reducing the appearance of the visible signs of aging, such as fine lines and wrinkles.

Characteristics of Lupine Protein

Lupine Protein, a key component of Lupine Peptides, is derived from the seeds of the lupine plant. This plant-based protein is rich in amino acids for skin and hair benefits. The protein is sustainably sourced to fit eco-friendly and ethical beauty standards. Lupine Protein is available as a powder bio, a type of bioactive ingredient made from hydrolyzed lupine protein.

The extraction method used to produce Lupine Protein is enzymatic hydrolysis, a process that maximizes the potency and effectiveness. This process breaks down the proteins into smaller, more bioavailable peptides, allowing them to penetrate the skin and hair. The result is a highly effective ingredient to support the structure and resilience of skin and hair, perfect for natural and organic products. Whether in skincare or haircare formulations, Lupine Protein is a sustainable and potent solution for beauty and health.

How to Use

Skin Care

• Supports and maintains healthy skin.
  
  
• Excellent for firming masks and night creams.
  
  
• Use in serums to target specific areas of the skin.
  
  
• Helps to protect the dermal matrix.
  
  
• This would be of great benefit when used in daily body lotions, before sun exposure.

Hair Care

• No direct hair care usage other than toning the scalp.

Other

• Use 0.5% to 2%. Water soluble, so it cannot be added to oil-only products.
  
  
• It is heat sensitive so add it when the temperature is under 40°C or during stage 3 (cool down stage) when making creams and lotions.
  
  
• Combine in a cream or lotion with Camellia Seed Oil, which can help to improve elasticity.
  
  
• Use in combination with Hyaluronic Acid Gel to help plump up the skin which will help diminish the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
  
  
• Blend with Eco Marine Algae Extract in anti-aging serums.
