Copper Peptide (GHK-Cu)

Copper Tripeptide-1 in serums and scalp care

GHK-Cu (INCI: Copper Tripeptide-1) is a small peptide bound to copper. It naturally gives formulas a blue tint. Brands use it in anti-ageing and scalp serums. A label saying only "peptides" is not GHK-Cu.

Good to know

Strong acids and high-strength vitamin C can be hard on copper peptides in the same step — use them at different times. Patch test.

What the research actually tested
