Pentapeptide-18 (Leuphasyl) 200mg

Pentapeptide-18, commercially known as Leuphasyl, is a biomimetic peptide designed to reduce expression wrinkles by targeting the skin’s neuromuscular activity.

At West Lab Chemicals, we supply Leuphasyl 200mg (Topical Grade) with ≥99% HPLC-tested purity, formulated specifically for cosmetic research and peptide-based skincare development.

Leuphasyl acts as a neuropeptide modulator, helping to relax facial muscle contractions and minimize dynamic wrinkles, making it a popular ingredient in anti-aging and firming formulations.

What is Pentapeptide-18 (Leuphasyl)?

Pentapeptide-18 is a synthetic peptide with the amino acid sequence Tyr-D-Ala-Gly-Phe-Leu, derived from enkephalin, a natural neurotransmitter.

It works by interfering with acetylcholine release at the neuromuscular junction, similar in concept to botulinum toxin (Botox®) but in a non-invasive, topical form.

This action helps reduce the depth of expression lines, especially around the forehead, eyes, and mouth, offering a relaxing, wrinkle-smoothing effect over time.
