Abstract
The invention relates to cosmetic compositions which are intended to improve the firmness of the skin by increasing adhesion of cutaneous cells in relation to one another and the basal lamina. The aforementioned compositions comprise a cosmetically-effective quantity of peptides having general formula X-isoleucyl-lysyl-valyl-alanyl-valine-Y, known as X-SEQ ID No. 1-Y (FIG. 1). The invention also relates to the use of X-SEQ ID No. 1-Y peptides in the preparation of cosmetic compositions which are intended to improve the firmness of the skin.
