Copper Tripeptide-1 (External Use) 500mg
Copper Tripeptide-1 500mg - Cosmetic Use
Overview
Copper tripeptide-1 is the same as GHK-Cu, however, its purpose in this powder form is for external cosmetic application. It is the key ingredient in most high end serums, peptide creams, scalp serums, eye creams and post micro needling recovery products! These products generally come with a hefty price tag eg: IS Clinical Youth Intensive Cre'me at R9000+ for 100g tub of cream!!
Purchasing it in its raw form allows one to add it into ones own creams, hair products and serums as well as create your own serums.
It is one of the most researched cosmetic peptides when it comes to skincare and anti-aging/longevity. It naturally exists in our bodies but levels have shown to decline with age. With copper tripeptide-1 being one of the most scientifically credible peptide ingredients in modern cosmetic skincare products, it gains its reputation for the following effects.

Examples:
100gram tub of cream would need 1g of copper tripeptide for it to be a 1% mixture.
50grams = 500mg for 1%
