NP-810 (SNAP-8)

NP-810, commonly referred to as SNAP-8, is a cosmetic peptide widely used in skincare formulations. It is known as an “expression line peptide” because it targets the appearance of dynamic wrinkles—those formed by repeated facial muscle movements.

SNAP-8 is a synthetic octapeptide designed as an enhanced, more targeted version of the well-known peptide Argireline (Acetyl Hexapeptide-8). While Argireline is a hexapeptide, SNAP-8 contains eight amino acids, allowing it to interact more effectively with the biochemical pathways involved in muscle contraction.
