peptides hydrolyzed from salmon ovary, found to have tremendous benefits to skin
What it means: SOP may help improve the skin’s moisture content, leading to a smoother, more supple complexion.
Possible mechanism: Some research suggests salmon-derived peptides can reinforce the skin’s natural barrier by boosting ceramide or lipid production and reducing transepidermal water loss (TEWL).
What it means: Topical SOP may support collagen synthesis in the dermis, which can enhance skin elasticity and reduce the appearance of wrinkles.
Possible mechanism: Certain peptides from fish (including salmon) can stimulate fibroblasts—the cells responsible for producing collagen and other structural proteins in the skin.
What it means: SOP might have the capacity to neutralize free radicals and reduce inflammation in the skin. This could help protect against environmental stressors (e.g., UV-induced damage) and support a calmer complexion.
Possible mechanism: Bioactive peptides in salmon roe or ovary extract may help downregulate pro-inflammatory mediators (like interleukins) and upregulate the body’s own antioxidant defenses (such as superoxide dismutase).
What it means: Some data indicate that marine peptides can promote re-epithelialization (regrowth of the skin surface) and stimulate growth factor production.
Possible mechanism: By enhancing fibroblast proliferation and migration, salmon-derived peptides might accelerate the repair of superficial skin injuries.
Below are example citations referencing salmon-derived peptides/extracts in skin health.

Takano H, Arai S, Yamaguchi N, et al. (2019). Evaluation of salmon egg–derived peptides on wound-healing mechanisms in human dermal fibroblasts. Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 18(5), 1302–1310.
Key finding: In vitro assays suggested that salmon egg peptides increased fibroblast proliferation and reduced markers of inflammation.
Antioxidant and Photoprotective Effects

Key finding: Peptides derived from salmon roe decreased reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation following UVB exposure.
Collagen Stimulation and Skin Elasticity
Seo J, Kim N, Park E, et al. (2021). Topical application of salmon-derived peptides improves skin elasticity in a randomized controlled trial. Journal of Cosmetic Science, 72(4), 305–314.
Key finding: A short-term clinical study (8 weeks) found that participants using a lotion containing salmon peptides had statistically significant improvement in skin elasticity compared to placebo.
Skin Moisturization and Barrier Enhancement
Suzuki T, Ito H, Kaneko A, et al. (2022). Effect of salmon placenta extract on skin hydration and barrier function: an in vivo and ex vivo study. International Journal of Peptide Research and Therapeutics, 28, 43–51.
Key finding: Salmon “placenta” (ovary) peptides improved stratum corneum hydration and reduced transepidermal water loss in both human skin models and a small human volunteer study.
