What is Matrixyl?
Matrixyl is the trade name, owned by the French ingredient maker Sederma, for palmitoyl pentapeptide-4. It is the five-amino-acid peptide Lys-Thr-Thr-Lys-Ser (KTTKS) with a palmitic acid chain attached, which makes it more fat-soluble. It is classed as a matrikine: a small peptide fragment related to proteins of the extracellular matrix.
