For the first time in years, the peptide Munapsys from Lipotrue presents an upgrade in the botulinum-like ingredients field, according to the company. Munapsys is the first ingredient to act both in the pre- and post-synaptic pathways and in a new SNARE protein (munc-18). Munc-18 is key for the assembly of the SNARE complex.
In order to prove the benefits of using a peptide covering both pathways, 3% Munapsys was tested in vivo against a 5% combination of the two most well-known benchmarks. Although being the benchmark at a higher concentration, Munapsys efficacy was similar or even higher, said the company.
Munapsys received the bronze award to the best ingredient at the Innovation zone the last In Cosmetics North America.
