HEPES is a zwitterionic buffer containing amino and carboxyl groups with a molecular weight of 24732。It has a stable molecular structure, it is a weakly alkaline, non-toxic, odorless solid, and is often used as a buffer in biochemical and cell biology research. Due to its very stable buffering capacity, it is widely used in cell culture and laboratory research. It has a pH range of 72-7.5. It can effectively maintain the stability of cells and proteins. In experiments, HEPES is often mixed with other compounds, such as growth factors, glucose, and amino acids. The chemical structure of HEPES makes it water-soluble and chemically stable, making it one of the indispensable chemicals in biochemistry and cell biology.

HEPES contains weak acidity, which can destroy the desmosomes connected between keratinocytes on the barrier, promote the shedding of the stratum corneum, and play a role in making the cuticle smooth, delicate and smooth, whitening and translucent.
HEPES itself has a good anti-inflammatory effect, which plays an anti-inflammatory role and provides a new anti-inflammatory mode by causing a decrease in the amount of active oxidation products in peripheral blood mononuclear cells.
4-Hydroxyethylpiperazine ethanesulfonic acid) HEPES is widely used in cosmetics, such as peptide products, whitening and anti-aging products, exfoliating products, etc.
