GHK-Cu · Copper Tripeptide-1
Begin with the tripeptide Gly-His-Lys and bind copper to it. That single complex is the whole product, and the deep blue-violet shade is the copper showing through rather than a colour somebody added afterwards. Assay sits at 99.0% or higher by HPLC. In water the powder disappears and leaves a clear blue solution, which suits aqueous and emulsion bases equally well. Every lot arrives with a COA carrying assay, copper content, heavy metals and micro results. It ships as 1 g and 10 g lyophilized vials or a 100 g bottle, and the minimum order is 10 g.

01
Cosmetic grade copper tripeptide-1, batch tested with COA for consistent quality.
02
1g lyophilized vial, 10g lyophilized vial & 100g bottle. Pre-weighed for easy sampling and accurate formulation testing; MOQ 10g.
03
The GHK peptide binds copper and carries it into skin cells to support collagen and elastin formation.
04
Blends directly into serum, cream and eye care formulas without extra processing steps.
05
Strict QC with COA per batch, competitive pricing and stable bulk supply for wholesalers.
One sheet travels with every lot. It prints the HPLC assay and the copper figure side by side, then the moisture, heavy metal and micro results underneath, which is the order a QA reviewer usually works through on arrival.
The lightest carrier for the active, and the format where the blue solution is left visible on purpose.
Added to the water phase before the oil goes in, then carried through the emulsion as normal.
Clear systems benefit twice, since the material leaves no haze and no sediment at the bottom of the pack.
A common route for contract manufacturers building scalp serums and leave-on hair treatments.
Vial size, label files and paperwork are set against the buyer’s own registration requirement.
