By acting on the deepest layer of skin -- the dermis -- and its interface with the epidermis, known as the dermal-epidermal junction (DEJ), \u003cstrong\u003eLupine Peptide Powder\u003c\/strong\u003e stimulates the production of cohesive components of this complex matrix while protecting key structures from molecular break-down activity. Use of \u003cstrong\u003eLupine Peptide Powder\u003c\/strong\u003e, especially as a daily shield against the signs of skin sagging and aging, demonstrates notable tightening and strengthening effects within the dermis, increasing its elastic properties and reviving its youthful resilience.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e*Preservative-free\u003cbr\u003e*100% pure peptide concentrated extract powder \u003cbr\u003e*Certified 100% organic by Ecocert Greenlife according to the COSMOS Standard.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e*See Collageneer Co2 for an oil soluble alternative made from Lupine Seeds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e Recommended Use \u0026amp; Storage\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eINCI Nomenclature:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eHydrolyzed Lupine Protein\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAppearance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Beige Powder\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAroma:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sweet \u0026amp; Woody\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSolubility:\u003c\/strong\u003e Water Soluble\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDispersion:\u003c\/strong\u003e In water, while stirring, at room temperature\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRecommended formulation temperature\u003c\/strong\u003e: 35-40°C \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSuggested Use Levels:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.05%-0.2%\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStorage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Protected from direct light and humidity at a temperature of 59°-77°F (15°-25°C)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShelf life:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5 years; properly stored, in a sealed container.\u003cbr\u003eThis product should be added to a formulation at the recommended usage rate. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAll products sold are cosmetic grade and for external use only; Cosmetic \u0026amp; Personal Care Formulations Only.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eEfficacy Studies\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBACKGROUND, SCIENCE, AND BENEFITS:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe use of white lupine, commonly known as white lupin or field lupine, goes back to the times of antiquity as both a traditionally valued food and medicine. Dating from as early as the Bronze Age, lupine, an annual grass and pulse crop with white flowers and protein-rich seeds of high nutrient density, likely originated in Greece and Egypt. From there, it became important to many Mediterranean civilizations, eventually spreading to Europe and Western Asia. Old World peoples recognized the seeds’ efficacy in treating internal disorders such as worms and sugar imbalance, but also its skin-healing properties for wounds and sores.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAdapted to the climate of modern, western France and utilizing a patented, bio-enzymatic technology, \u003cstrong\u003eLupine Peptide Powder, \u003c\/strong\u003ederived directly from lupine seeds, is the end-product of sustainably and locally-sourced agricultural practices benefitting the local economy, in accordance with organic standards. As an eco-designed active concentrate of lupine protein fractions, or peptides, it offers cosmeceutically targeted support and repair to specific layers of the dermal matrix that become vulnerable with UV stress and age-related wear.  Specifically, the dermis is prone to weakening where it joins to the epidermis at the dermal-epidermal junction (DEJ), a complex structure contributing to the tonicity, firmness and tightness of skin. Further, a natural balance normally exists in the dermis between the synthesis of macromolecules (collagens, elastin, proteoglycans) and the damaging effect of inflammatory and degrading enzymes called metalloproteinases (MMPs). When this balance is compromised, skin laxity results. \u003cstrong\u003eLupine Peptide Powder’s\u003c\/strong\u003e key constituents arrest these processes in a number of ways: they interact with the DEJ to stimulate connective tissue and collagenous substrate; they inhibit the action of MMPs; and they increase the dynamic activity of fibroblasts, cells which confer “durability” to the framework of skin tissue.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn an ex vivo (human tissue) study, topical application of 0.2% \u003cstrong\u003eLupine Peptide Powder\u003c\/strong\u003e stimulated expression of Laminin 5 and Collagen type IV, key components of the DEJ, by at least 31% and 219%, respectively.\u003cspan style=\"color: #ff2a00;\"\u003e [CITE]\u003c\/span\u003e In another similar study, human skin cells exposed to 0.2% of \u003cstrong\u003eLupine Peptide Powder\u003c\/strong\u003e were observed to undergo an increase in Collagen type I and Collagen type III by at least 102% and 76%, respectively.\u003cspan style=\"color: #ff2a00;\"\u003e [CITE]\u003c\/span\u003e Playing key roles, these collagen types comprise the majority of the skin’s extracellular matrix (ECM), a network of fibers forming the three-dimensional structure of the dermis. When exposed to UV-irradiated fibroblasts, skin cells treated with \u003cstrong\u003eLupine Peptide Powder\u003c\/strong\u003e at 0.2% reduced production of three major types of MMPs (1, 3, and 9) by up to 100% compared to untreated cells. \u003cspan style=\"color: #ff2a00;\"\u003e[CITE]\u003c\/span\u003e And in a model testing real-time mechanical dynamics of the dermis when \u003cstrong\u003eLupine Peptide Powder\u003c\/strong\u003e was applied, the contractile capability of fibroblasts was markedly increased, with an ability to reconfigure the matrix. In fact, aged dermal cells were observed to recover their contractile ability up to 62% in comparison to young control dermal cells. \u003cspan style=\"color: #ff2a00;\"\u003e[CITE]\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese data were able to show that \u003cstrong\u003eLupine Peptide Powder\u003c\/strong\u003e in skincare formulations stimulates and inhibits key activities within skin which are essential to the restoration, preservation, and maintenance of skin elasticity, resiliency, and structural integrity, making it an asset to any cutting-edge anti-aging regimen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eDocuments\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/5421\/2003\/files\/SDS_-_Lupine_Peptide_Powder_-_Organic_6c095065-680b-4b6c-8add-3d58ee82543e.pdf?v=1746857741\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eSDS\u003c\/a\u003e       \u003cbr\u003e\u003ca rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/5421\/2003\/files\/CoA_-_Lupine_Peptide_Powder_Organic_c488c622-37a1-417a-818a-f0709c05f2b1.pdf?v=1746855502\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eCoA-\u003cspan class=\"OYPEnA text-decoration-none text-strikethrough-none\"\u003eLOT: BN2303300001\/CP\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ca rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/5421\/2003\/files\/CoA_-_Lupine_Peptide_Powder_Organic_1.pdf?v=1746855872\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"JsGRdQ\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eCoA-LOT: BN2210300002\u003cspan class=\"OYPEnA text-decoration-none text-strikethrough-none\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\/CP\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bulk Naturals","offers":[{"title":"1 Gram","offer_id":44691600179244,"sku":"3731804162683","price":12.35,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"5 Grams","offer_id":44691600212012,"sku":"3731804162676","price":46.34,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"10 Grams","offer_id":44691600244780,"sku":"3731814192014","price":86.51,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"25 Grams","offer_id":44691600277548,"sku":"3731814192007","price":184.36,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"50 Grams","offer_id":44691600310316,"sku":"3731814182992","price":335.77,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"100 Grams - Email for pricing","offer_id":44691600343084,"sku":"3731814182985","price":644.77,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0618\/6260\/8940\/files\/71892463-l.webp?v=1772909390","url":"https:\/\/littleredgeneralstore.com\/products\/lupine-peptide-powder-organic","provider":"Little Red General Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
