Overview
A blend, not a single peptide
Two actives
Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1 and Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7 — both required.
Blend to your ratio
Order the components separately or pre-blended to your specification.
Premium tier
Positioned above single-peptide Matrixyl in finished-product marketing.
Matrixyl 3000 is a Sederma trade name for a system built on two palmitoylated peptides: Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1 and Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7. This is the most common point of confusion we field on it — buyers frequently expect to order a single INCI, and instead need both actives specified.It sits in the same matrikine and collagen-support space as Matrixyl (Palmitoyl Pentapeptide-4), and is generally positioned a tier above it in finished-product marketing.We supply both component peptides individually, or blended to a ratio you specify, with a COA on each active. Supplied wholesale and white label to skincare brands, cosmetic manufacturers, ingredient distributors and formulation laboratories across Europe and internationally.

Worth knowing
The GHK connection
| INCI | Copper Tripeptide-1 |
| Core peptide | GHK |
| Modification | Copper(II) complex |
| Solubility | Water soluble |
| Colour | Deep blue |
| Page | See GHK-Cu → |
Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1 contains the same GHK tripeptide — glycyl-histidyl-lysine — found in GHK-Cu. The difference is what has been done to it. In GHK-Cu the tripeptide is complexed with copper(II); in Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1 it carries a palmitic acid chain instead.That distinction has practical consequences for your formulation. The copper complex is water soluble and deep blue, and it carries pH and acid-compatibility constraints. The palmitoylated version is lipophilic and colourless, with no copper chemistry to manage. They are not interchangeable, and they are frequently confused — including on ingredient lists.Some brands formulate both, in separate products, precisely because the delivery characteristics differ.

Formulation considerations
Working with the Matrixyl 3000 peptides
- Both actives are lipophilic. Like Palmitoyl Pentapeptide-4, the palmitoyl chain limits water solubility as neat powder. Plan a suitable solubilising system, or specify solution.
- Specify both on your ingredient list. Since this is a two-peptide system, both INCI names appear on the finished product — not a single "Matrixyl 3000" entry.
- Low use levels. Accurate dosing matters; pre-diluted solution removes weighing error at production scale.
- Add in the cool-down phase. Avoid prolonged high-temperature processing.
- Colourless. No tinting, unlike copper peptides — useful for clear or white bases.
General formulation guidance only. Use levels, ratio, stability and compatibility should be validated in your own formulation and stability testing. "Matrixyl 3000" is a third-party trade name; we supply the constituent peptides by INCI designation.

Frequently asked questions
What is Matrixyl 3000 made of?
It is a two-peptide system based on Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1 (CAS 147732-56-7) and Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7 (CAS 221227-05-0). It is a trade name for a blend rather than a single INCI ingredient, which is the most common misunderstanding we encounter.
Can I order the two peptides separately?
Yes. We supply each active individually, or pre-blended to a ratio you specify. Each component is tested separately and supplied with its own Certificate of Analysis.
How is this different from standard Matrixyl?
Matrixyl refers to Palmitoyl Pentapeptide-4, a single peptide. Matrixyl 3000 is a later, different two-peptide system. Both sit in the collagen-support space, with the 3000-type peptides generally positioned a tier above in finished-product marketing.
Is Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1 the same as GHK-Cu?
They share the same GHK tripeptide but are not interchangeable. GHK-Cu is complexed with copper(II) — water soluble and deep blue. Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1 carries a palmitic acid chain instead — lipophilic and colourless, with no copper chemistry to manage in formulation.
Are these peptides water soluble?
Not readily. Both actives are palmitoylated and therefore lipophilic, which aids skin delivery but limits water solubility as neat powder. A suitable solubilising system is needed, or specify pre-diluted solution.
How should these appear on my ingredient list?
As the two INCI names — Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1 and Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7 — not as a single trade-name entry. Responsibility for finished-product labelling and claims rests with the brand owner.
