Decapeptide-4 is a synthetic 10-amino-acid peptide (Gly-Glu-Pro-Pro-Pro-Gly-Arg-Pro-Ala-Asp) positioned as a growth-factor-mimetic active for advanced cosmetic formulations. On the TCS site,
Decapeptide-4 – Growth-Factor-Like Peptide for Intensive Repair & Regeneration
is described as supporting skin regeneration, post-procedure recovery and intensive rejuvenation, especially in high-performance serums, ampoules, masks and creams.
Research and industry literature describe Decapeptide-4 as an ingredient that may stimulate collagen and elastin synthesis, improve dermal density and elasticity, and increase hyaluronic acid production, contributing to smoother, better hydrated and more resilient skin. These properties make it attractive in anti-aging, post-procedural and “intensive repair” concepts.
Within TCS INDUSTRIES LIMITED’s
portfolio, Decapeptide-4 sits alongside multiple synergistic peptides that allow brands to build multi-peptide complexes. For example:
- Copper Tripeptide-1 1:1 HCL – a GHK-Cu complex renowned for promoting collagen synthesis, enhancing skin repair and supporting post-treatment recovery.
- Biotinoyl Tripeptide-1 – a peptide used in lash, brow and hair-density formulas that can extend facial anti-aging narratives beyond the skin surface.
Formulators often position Decapeptide-4 at the centre of “clinic-inspired” or “growth-factor-like” product stories. It can be combined with hyaluronic acid, niacinamide, ceramides and soothing agents to deliver comprehensive rejuvenation, barrier support and comfort. Typical use levels are low, but the perceived value is high, especially when paired with sophisticated textures such as ultra-light serums, biocellulose masks or post-procedure creams.
Processing guidelines usually recommend incorporating Decapeptide-4 in the cool-down phase of emulsions or directly into the water phase of gels, avoiding high temperatures and strong oxidants. Airless or pump packaging helps maintain peptide integrity and supports a premium positioning.
By choosing Decapeptide-4 from TCS GROUP, brands gain access to a high-purity, growth-factor-like cosmetic peptide supported by a full ecosystem of complementary actives, enabling distinctive, science-driven anti-aging and repair formulations.
