OS-01

Prohibitin, a mitochondrial protein involved in cell cycle regulation, inspired the development of OS-01. This cosmetic peptide is designed to interact with cellular pathways associated with skin aging. It functions by targeting the prohibitin complex, which plays a role in maintaining mitochondrial function and cellular homeostasis. Research on OS-01 began with investigations into how prohibitin influences skin cell vitality and longevity. Early studies focused on its potential to enhance skin resilience by modulating oxidative stress responses. Today, it is primarily studied for its effects on:

• Skin rejuvenation
• Anti-aging treatments
• Cellular homeostasis
• Mitochondrial function
• Oxidative stress modulation

Beyond that, work continues on exploring OS-01's broader implications in dermatology.
