30ml Copper Peptide (GHK-Cu 1000ppm Solution)

Copper Peptide (GHK-Cu 1000ppm Solution) is a professionally standardized aqueous solution containing the naturally occurring copper tripeptide complex GHK-Cu (Glycyl-L-Histidyl-L-Lysine Copper Complex) at a concentration of 1,000ppm (0.1%). GHK is a bioactive peptide naturally found in human plasma, saliva and urine, where it plays an important role in tissue repair, wound healing and maintaining healthy skin. As we age, the natural concentration of GHK within the body declines significantly, contributing to slower skin renewal, reduced collagen production and visible signs of ageing.

Unlike traditional anti-ageing ingredients that simply hydrate the skin or create temporary plumping effects, GHK-Cu functions as a biological messenger peptide. It communicates directly with skin cells, encouraging them to behave more like younger, healthier cells. Numerous scientific studies have shown that GHK-Cu can stimulate fibroblast activity, improve collagen and elastin synthesis, support extracellular matrix remodeling, reduce inflammatory responses and assist in repairing environmentally damaged skin.

The 1000ppm solution is supplied already dissolved in purified water, making it considerably easier to formulate than powdered GHK-Cu while reducing weighing errors and improving batch consistency. It is widely incorporated into premium anti-ageing serums, post-procedure treatments, skin barrier repair products, eye treatments, scalp care formulations and advanced regenerative skincare designed for mature, stressed or compromised skin.

Because Copper Peptide is extremely potent even at very low concentrations, only small additions are required to achieve meaningful biological activity. It delivers gradual, long-term improvements in skin quality rather than instant cosmetic effects, making it one of the most respected active ingredients in professional skincare formulation.

INCI Name:

Copper Tripeptide-1

CAS Number:

49557-75-7 (Copper Tripeptide-1)

Appearance:

Deep blue aqueous liquid. The characteristic blue colour comes from the copper ion naturally bound within the peptide complex and may vary slightly between production batches without affecting quality or performance.

Country of Origin:

China

Formation:

Synthetic biomimetic peptide produced under controlled laboratory conditions through peptide synthesis and subsequent complexation with bioavailable copper ions. This manufacturing approach ensures exceptional purity, stability, consistency and reproducible biological activity while closely mimicking the naturally occurring GHK-Cu found within the human body.

Specification:

• Active Ingredient: Copper Tripeptide-1 (GHK-Cu)
• Standardized Concentration: 1000ppm (0.1%)
• Carrier: Purified Water
• Characteristic Blue Colour
• Cosmetic Grade
• Water-based Solution
• Suitable for Leave-on Cosmetic Formulations

Grade:

Premium Cosmetic Grade

pH Stability:

Performs best between pH 5.0 – 7.0, with an ideal formulation range of approximately 5.2 – 6.5. Extremely acidic formulations may gradually reduce peptide stability, while highly alkaline systems can compromise its biological activity and the integrity of the copper-peptide complex.

Recommended Usage Percentage:

• Facial Serums: 2 – 10%
• Anti-ageing Creams: 2 – 8%
• Eye Treatments: 2 – 5%
• Skin Repair Products: 3 – 10%
• Barrier Repair Products: 2 – 8%
• Scalp & Hair Growth Serums: 3 – 10%
• Professional Intensive Treatments: Up to 15% where formulation stability has been properly validated.

Solubility:

Completely soluble in water. It disperses readily into aqueous systems and should never be added directly to oils without an appropriate emulsified water phase.

Compatibility:

Copper Peptide works exceptionally well alongside ingredients that strengthen the skin barrier, improve hydration and support long-term skin repair. It is highly compatible with:

• Sodium Hyaluronate
• Panthenol (Vitamin B5)
• Beta-Glucan
• Ectoin
• Ceramides
• Niacinamide
• Allantoin
• Centella Asiatica Extract
• Oat Extract
• Peptides
• Tremella (Snow Mushroom) Extract
• Glycerin
• Aloe Vera
• Betaine

For maximum performance and long-term stability, avoid combining Copper Peptide directly within the same formulation with:

• Pure L-Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C)
• Strong AHAs
• Strong BHAs
• Highly acidic formulations (below pH 5)
• High levels of strong chelating agents such as EDTA, which may interfere with copper availability in certain systems.

These ingredients are generally better used in separate products applied at different times of the day rather than formulated together.

Mixing Phase & Temperature Range:

Copper Peptide is highly heat-sensitive and should always be incorporated during the cool-down phase once the formulation temperature has dropped below 40°C, with 30–35°C being ideal. Prolonged exposure to elevated temperatures can reduce peptide integrity and biological effectiveness.

Application:

Ideal for formulating:

• Anti-ageing facial serums
• Firming serums
• Wrinkle treatment products
• Skin repair creams
• Post-procedure recovery products
• Barrier repair moisturizers
• Eye serums
• Neck treatments
• Mature skin treatments
• Sensitive skin formulations
• Scalp repair serums
• Hair growth products
• Regenerative overnight treatments
• Professional cosmetic formulations

Performance:

Copper Peptide is valued because it targets the biological processes behind skin ageing rather than only masking visible signs. With consistent use, it helps improve the skin's overall structure, resilience and appearance by supporting natural renewal mechanisms.

Its benefits include:

• Encourages collagen, elastin and glycosaminoglycan production.
• Helps improve skin firmness and elasticity over time.
• Softens the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
• Supports healthier wound healing and skin recovery.
• Strengthens the skin barrier, reducing moisture loss.
• Calms visible redness associated with stressed or compromised skin.
• Promotes smoother, more refined skin texture.
• Helps improve the appearance of post-acne marks and uneven skin tone by supporting healthy skin regeneration.
• Protects skin from oxidative stress by contributing antioxidant activity.
• Supports healthier hair follicles and may improve the appearance of fuller, stronger hair in scalp care formulations.
• Enhances overall skin vitality, making the complexion appear healthier, fresher and more resilient with continued use.

Unlike ingredients that deliver temporary cosmetic effects, Copper Peptide promotes gradual improvements that become more noticeable with regular, long-term application.

Storage:

Store tightly sealed in its original container in a cool, dry environment away from direct sunlight, excessive heat and moisture. Refrigeration at 2–8°C is recommended for prolonged storage to help preserve peptide activity. Avoid repeated exposure to elevated temperatures and minimise unnecessary opening of the container to reduce oxidation and contamination.

Shelf Life:

24 months from the manufacturing date when stored under recommended conditions. Once opened, best used within 12 months for optimum performance.

Precaution:

For external cosmetic formulation use only. Do not use undiluted directly on the skin unless the product is specifically intended for that purpose by the manufacturer. Add only during the cool-down phase to avoid heat degradation. Maintain the recommended formulation pH to preserve peptide stability. Avoid combining in the same formulation with pure L-ascorbic acid or highly acidic systems. Always perform compatibility and stability testing when developing new formulations. Wear appropriate protective equipment during handling and keep out of reach of children.
