Topical peptides are absorbed through the skin primarily by bypassing the digestive system and penetrating through the stratum corneum, the outer skin barrier. To achieve this, specialized peptide structures — such as skin‑penetrating peptides or engineered sequences that temporarily increase capillary permeability and interact with lipids in the epidermal layer. Once past the stratum corneum, peptides diffuse through the epidermis and dermis, often entering local capillaries or lymphatic channels. These routes allow peptides to reach deeper tissues, including muscles, tendons, and joints, where they can exert anti‑inflammatory and regenerative effects by modulating cytokines, collagen synthesis, and vascular activity.  Modern transdermal systems enhance this process using nanocarriers, liposomes, or microneedles, which improve stability and localized bioavailability. Transdermal peptide formulations like those in THERABLUE™ from The Wellness Company have demonstrated ...
