- Cosmetics Peptide Active Ingredient Discovery Service is applicable to a wide range of research and applications, including:
- Development of anti-aging peptides (stimulating collagen production and inhibiting elastin degradation)
- Whitening peptide research (inhibiting tyrosinase activity)
- Moisturizing and repair peptide screening (enhancing skin barrier function)
- Anti-inflammatory and soothing peptide identification (reducing irritation and sensitivity)
- Support for new functional peptide ingredient registration (INCI / cosmetic new ingredient filing)
Peptides are rapidly emerging as star ingredients in the next generation of functional skincare, driven by their high specificity, low immunogenicity, and proven biological activities. From signaling peptides that promote collagen synthesis, to carrier peptides that enhance skin penetration, enzyme-inhibiting peptides that prevent degradation, and neurotransmitter-affecting peptides that reduce dynamic wrinkles—the functional classification of cosmetic peptides has become increasingly sophisticated and well-defined. As illustrated below, each peptide category contributes uniquely to skin health and rejuvenation:

Services at MtoZ Biolabs
In Cosmetics Peptide Active Ingredient Discovery Service, MtoZ Biolabs offers a comprehensive, systematic approach to peptide active ingredient research for the cosmetics industry, covering the full process from sequence screening to mechanism analysis. Our services include:
1. Active Peptide Sequence Identification
Utilizing LC-MS/MS technology combined with data mining algorithms, we quickly identify potential active peptide sequences from both natural and synthetic samples. Through sample comparison and database annotation, we accurately locate peptides and predict their functions.
2. Peptide Structure Optimization and Activity Enhancement
Using Structure-Activity Relationship (SAR) models, we synthesize and modify candidate peptides to improve their stability, skin penetration, and targeting effects, thus enhancing their functional performance on the skin.
3. Activity Validation and Screening
We conduct high-throughput cell-based assays or in vitro models to evaluate the peptides’ efficacy in antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and collagen-stimulating activities, while combining toxicology analysis to ensure safety.
4. Mechanism Research and Pathway Analysis
By integrating protein interaction networks and pathway enrichment analysis, we uncover the mechanisms of action of peptide ingredients at the cellular level, providing data support for functional labeling and efficacy claims.
5. Development of Novel Peptide Active Ingredients
We focus on developing innovative functional peptides for specific applications such as anti-aging, brightening, and repair, driving the development of personalized and aesthetic-driven products that meet market demands.

FAQ
Q1: How can we increase the detection rate of low-abundance peptides in LC-MS/MS?
We utilize multi-stage enrichment strategies (e.g., reverse-phase-strong cation exchange SPE), combined data-dependent acquisition (DDA) with data-independent acquisition (DIA), and targeted PRM methods to significantly enhance the identification and quantification of low-abundance functional peptides.
