Here are examples of some of their most popular peptides.
OLIGOPEPTIDE-10
Used in many acne products to enhance natural defense systems, Oligopeptide-10 is an anti-microbial peptide derived from plant amino acids that is highly synergistic with salicylic acid. Studies have demonstrated that Oligopeptide-10 has broad-spectrum activity against many types of organisms, including p. acnes bacteria. Clinical studies have shown a significant reduction in the appearance of blemishes and red, blotchy spots after using products with Oligopeptide-10. In addition, Oligopeptide-10 has been shown to be non-cytotoxic, non-mutagenic, non-irritating and non-sensitizing. (Data on file) For more information or purchase please visit www.grantinc.com
PALMITOYL HEXAPEPTIDE-14
Palmitoyl Hexapeptide-14 is a short bioactive peptide modified with palmitoyl for enhanced delivery and has proven to stimulate collagen production, stimulate proliferation of fibroblast cells and inhibit skin damaging MMPs. It helps reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, while eliminating dull and dry skin by rejuvenating and restoring tissue building processes. Palmitoyl Hexapeptide-14 has been shown to be non-cytotoxic, non-mutagenic, non-irritating and non-sensitizing. For more information or purchase please visit www.grantinc.com
HEXAPEPTIDE-21
Hexapeptide-21 is a short bioactive peptide designed to stimulate collagen production and fibroblast proliferation helping to rebuild the extra-cellular matrix damaged by the aging process. It helps reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles while reviving overall skin health. For more information or purchase please visit www.grantinc.com
TETRAPEPTIDE-14 & TETRAPEPTIDE-16
Helix BioMedix researched and developed peptides that act as competitive inhibitors of TRAF6 binding and in that way block the transmission of the inflammatory signal and hence reduce the inflammatory response. Tetrapeptide-14 & Tetrapeptide-16 are designed to help block the inflammation cascade that is associated with conditions such as skin redness, couperose, rosacea, sensitive skin and atopic dermatitis.

PENTAPEPTIDE–21
Pentapeptide-21 is designed to help inhibit the enzymes responsible for hyper-proliferation, inflammation and DNA damage in response to UV radiation. For more information or purchase please visit www.grantinc.com
HEPTAPEPTIDE-7
Heptapeptide-7 helps defend against deterioration of the dermo-epidermal connection caused by aging and replenishes this layer of the skin by boosting formation of keratinocytes and promoting cell adhesion and migration resulting in a more compacted epidermis and more radiant, firm skin. With aging, the bond between epidermal cells and the basement membrane (dermo-epidermal junction) starts to weaken and leads to many of the functional and structural changes normally associated with aging skin. Keratinocytes in the epidermis are held in place by laminin which also decreases with age. As a result, skin loses elasticity and becoming saggy and tired. Heptapeptide-7 helps restore these processes to normal function for healthy, vibrant-looking skin. For more information or purchase please visit www.grantinc.com
