Cosmetics
Code: 875
High-purity GHK-Cu Copper Tripeptide-1 blue powder for anti-aging, post-blemish appearance, firming, and scalp-care formulas.
Copper Peptide (GHK-Cu Copper Tripeptide-1, 1:1) Powder is a high-purity blue GHK-Cu powder synthesized from glycyl-histidyl-lysine peptide complexed with copper ion.
GHK-Cu is one of the most recognized cosmetic peptides for premium anti-aging, post-blemish appearance care, firming, and scalp-care concepts. This powder format is suitable for formulators who need a high-concentration Copper Tripeptide-1 active and want full control over the finished serum, gel, lotion, cream, or professional-care formula.
Product Description: Use this GHK-Cu powder when the formula needs a strong copper-peptide story: smoother-looking skin, improved appearance of fine lines, support for uneven texture after blemishes, and a refreshed scalp-care positioning. The 1:1 GHK-Cu form gives the classic blue copper peptide identity expected in high-performance cosmetic formulas.
| Formula direction | Recommended positioning |
|---|---|
| Anti-aging | Fine lines, firmness, smoother-looking skin, and premium peptide repair concepts. |
| Post-blemish appearance | Support formulas for uneven texture, visible marks, and skin renewal after breakouts. |
| Scalp care | Scalp serums and tonics positioned for healthier-looking scalp and stronger cosmetic hair-care routines. |
Important formulation note: Avoid Disodium EDTA and strong chelating agents in the same formula, because they can bind copper and reduce the performance of the copper peptide complex.
Usage: Anti-aging serums, repair gels, lotions, creams, post-blemish appearance formulas, scalp serums, and professional-care formulas where a copper peptide active is required.
Mixing method:
- Dissolve in the water phase or a small compatible aqueous premix before adding to the main batch.
- Add in the final cool-down step below 40°C.
- Keep final formula pH in the recommended copper peptide range, ideally pH 4.5-7.4; outside this range, copper peptide stability can decrease.
- Check color, clarity, odor, pH drift, and active stability before scale-up.
Usage rate: 0.01-0.10%. Use the lower end for leave-on daily facial products and validate tolerance in the finished formula.
Product characteristics: blue powder, purity higher than 98%.
Solubility: Water soluble.
Storage: Keep tightly closed, dry, protected from light and heat. Refrigerated or frozen storage is preferred for long-term peptide stability.

“Ingredient-family evidence for GHK/GHK-Cu: review reports wound healing, skin repair, collagen/elastin/glycosaminoglycan synthesis, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activity relevant to anti-aging skin care.”
“Closest copper-tripeptide hair evidence: AHK-Cu, a related copper tripeptide, promoted elongation of human hair follicles ex vivo and increased dermal papilla cell proliferation, supporting hair-growth-family positioning rather than exact GHK-Cu proof.”
