1. The Origin of Peptide Innovation: "Matrixyl"

Croda is a leading company in the peptide field. Its core, "Matrixyl," is an anti-wrinkle peptide that was commercially launched worldwide for the first time* in 2000, originating from matrikine technology developed based on dermatological research in France. It approaches collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid, establishing a new standard for anti-aging care. Croda continues to lead the market through the ongoing development of the Matrixyl series.
