Copper Peptide • 99%+ Purity • HPLC Verified
GHK-Cu (Glycyl-L-Histidyl-L-Lysine Copper) is the most extensively researched copper peptide in dermatology and regenerative medicine. Unlike synthetic alternatives, GHK-Cu occurs naturally in human plasma, saliva, and urine, where it plays a crucial role in wound healing and tissue remodeling throughout the body.
First discovered in 1973, GHK-Cu has been the subject of hundreds of scientific studies demonstrating its remarkable ability to stimulate collagen synthesis, accelerate wound healing, reduce inflammation, and reverse signs of aging at the cellular level. It's considered the gold standard copper peptide for anti-aging skincare formulations.
Our GHK-Cu powder is supplied at 99%+ purity, verified by HPLC analysis. Each batch is carefully tested to ensure optimal potency and effectiveness for your cosmetic formulations.
Stimulates collagen and elastin synthesis, improving skin firmness, elasticity, and reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles significantly.
Renowned for its ability to speed wound healing, reduce scarring, and promote tissue regeneration. Used clinically for post-procedure recovery.
Provides powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects, protecting skin cells from oxidative stress and environmental damage.
Promotes healthy skin remodeling by regulating the balance between collagen synthesis and breakdown, improving overall skin texture and tone.

Dissolve the desired amount of GHK-Cu powder in distilled water. For a 0.01% solution, add approximately 0.1g of GHK-Cu to 1 liter of water. The powder dissolves easily at room temperature.
Ensure your final formulation has a pH between 5.0 and 7.0. GHK-Cu is most stable and effective within this range. Avoid using with strong acids or vitamin C serums.
Add the GHK-Cu solution to serums, creams, lotions, or treatment products. The typical use level is 0.001% to 0.01% of total formulation weight. Add during the cool-down phase.
Store your finished product in a cool, dark place. GHK-Cu is light-sensitive, so use amber or opaque containers. Refrigeration can extend shelf life.
