GHK-Cu Copper Peptide Powder — 99% Pure Cosmetic Grade

A highly concentrated cosmetic-grade copper peptide powder designed for advanced skincare and haircare formulation. GHK-Cu, commonly labelled Copper Tripeptide-1 in finished cosmetics, gives formulations a distinctive blue colour and is used in products intended to support smoother, firmer and healthier-looking skin.

It is suitable for experienced formulators creating premium peptide serums, moisturisers, eye products, body lotions, scalp treatments and haircare products.

Common cosmetic applications

• Face and eye serums
• Renewal and firming creams
• Body lotions
• After-treatment skincare
• Scalp serums and sprays
• Shampoos and conditioners
• Multi-peptide formulations

Suggested development range

For initial laboratory development, consider testing approximately:

• 0.05–0.1% for lightweight daily formulations
• 0.1–0.5% for concentrated cosmetic formulations
• Higher concentrations should only be considered after compatibility, stability and finished-product safety testing

These are formulation-development examples rather than universal regulatory limits. The correct concentration depends on the raw-material specification, intended application, exposure, packaging and completed cosmetic safety assessment. Inclusion of an ingredient in a cosmetic ingredient database does not by itself confirm that every concentration or intended use is acceptable.

Mixing instructions

1. Accurately weigh the GHK-Cu using a calibrated precision scale.
2. Pre-dissolve it in a small amount of distilled or deionised water.
3. Stir gently until the solution is uniform.
4. Add the solution during the cool-down phase, preferably below 35–40°C.
5. Mix gently until evenly distributed.
6. Check the finished product’s pH, colour, viscosity and stability.
7. Package in a light-protective, airtight cosmetic container.

Avoid prolonged heating and strongly acidic or strongly alkaline conditions. Confirm compatibility before combining GHK-Cu with highly reactive ingredients, strong chelating agents or aggressive oxidising system
