Peptide Innovation Beyond The Skin Barrier

Smarter Delivery, Stronger Results

N1 Life develops novel biotech ingredients and platforms designed to enhance product performance and deliver the results that brands and consumers are looking for.

The skin’s natural barrier is designed to protect against external substances, which makes it highly resistant to the absorption of many active ingredients. While this defense is essential for health, it presents a major challenge for dermatology and cosmetic innovation:

Limited Penetration

Many actives remain on the skin’s surface instead of reaching targeted layers.

Reduced Bioavailability

Even when actives penetrate, only a fraction becomes available to interact with skin cells.

High Concentrations Required

Brands often need to increase dosage levels, which can raise risks of irritation and compromise formulation aesthetics.

Formulation Trade-Offs

Traditional penetration enhancers (like harsh surfactants or glycols) can destabilize products, irritate skin, and reduce consumer acceptance.

As a result, many promising skincare and therapeutic actives fail to deliver their full potential—leaving consumers underwhelmed and brands searching for better solutions.

Our Solution

Absotride™ peptides improve delivery, penetration, solubility, and bioavailability

Absotride™ peptides are highly versatile and can be paired with a wide range of active ingredients—from small molecules to large biomolecules, hydrophilic to hydrophobic compounds. This flexibility allows brands to unlock the full potential of both well-established and next-generation actives.

Brightening & Even Tone: Tranexamic Acid, Symwhite
Anti-aging & Firmness: Ceramides, Proxylane, Argireline
Repair & Barrier Support: Niacinamide

Beyond these examples, Absotride™ enhances penetration and bioavailability for virtually any category of cosmetic or dermatology ingredient, opening opportunities for innovative formulations, improved efficacy, and new product claims.

Solving The Solubility Problem

Absotride peptide transforms insoluble to soluble, expanding formulation possibilities

Benefits for Brands & Consumers

Absotride™ peptides empower brands to deliver more effective, differentiated products while keeping formulations safe, stable, and consumer-friendly.

01

Higher Efficacy at Lower Dosages

Enhanced penetration and bioavailability mean actives work harder—even at reduced concentrations—supporting both performance and safety.

02

Stable & Clean Formulations

Absotride™ integrates seamlessly into modern skincare development, enabling clean-label, irritation-free formulations without relying on harsh penetration enhancers.

03

Personalized Depth Targeting

Peptides can be tuned to reach specific skin layers, opening opportunities for tailored benefits across dermatology, scalp care, and cosmetics.

04

Versatile Across Formulation Types

Compatible with a wide range of product formats—including serums, creams, lotions, toners, masks, and emulsions—Absotride™ gives brands the flexibility to innovate across categories and consumer preferences.
