Amphipathic lipo-oligopeptides contain terminal acids or contain D or E amino acid residues in addition to cationic lysine and arginine to provide unique solubility and chelating properties. As with the Trilysylines®, these lipo-oligopeptides up-regulate the genes associated with enhanced metabolic activity and are excellent anti-aging ingredients.
