Product Uses

Yake-1, chemically known as SR-Mussel Oligopeptide-1, leverages the unique polyphenolic chemistry found in marine mussels to provide unparalleled "bio-gluing" properties to the skin's surface. In the B2B cosmetic market, it is highly sought after for medical-grade skincare and "cica" products due to its ability to form a protective biological film that accelerates wound healing and reduces transepidermal water loss (TEWL). Its high DOPA (Dihydroxyphenylalanine) content ensures strong antioxidant activity and helps in the rapid soothing of inflamed or sensitized skin following chemical peels or laser procedures.

Formula Suggestions

The recommended dosage is 0.5% – 3.0% for clinical-strength repair products. Yake-1 is a highly stable protein but should be added during the cool-down phase (below 40°C) to maintain its tertiary structure and adhesive functionality. It exhibits excellent stability across a wide pH range (4.0 – 8.0). Synergy Example: Combine with Ceramide NP to reinforce the lipid barrier alongside the proteinaceous shield, or pair with Centella Asiatica Extract for maximum anti-inflammatory synergy in recovery creams.
