Naturally occurring copper-binding peptide – a leading anti-aging and skin regeneration ingredient

Product Usage

GHK (glycyl-L-histidyl-L-lysine) is a naturally occurring tripeptide found in human plasma, saliva, and urine. It has a high affinity for copper ions, forming the complex GHK-Cu (copper peptide), which is the bioactive form responsible for its diverse biological effects. GHK levels in the body decrease with age, making topical application a valuable approach for skin rejuvenation.

GHK-Cu functions as a powerful bioactive peptide that modulates multiple cellular processes. It promotes collagen and elastin synthesis, stimulates wound healing, reduces inflammation, and acts as an antioxidant by protecting cells from oxidative stress. Additionally, GHK has been shown to influence gene expression, turning on genes associated with tissue repair and turning off genes linked to inflammation and oxidative damage.

GHK is widely used in cosmetic and personal care products for its anti-aging, skin remodeling, and hair growth properties. It is incorporated into serums, creams, masks, and hair care formulations.

Key Benefits:

• Stimulates collagen and elastin production

• Promotes wound healing and skin regeneration

• Reduces fine lines and wrinkles

• Improves skin firmness and elasticity

• Anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties

• Supports hair growth and reduces hair loss

Specifications

Mechanism of Action

GHK exerts its effects through multiple pathways:

• Collagen synthesis – Upregulates collagen type I, II, and IV production

• Elastin production – Stimulates elastin formation for skin elasticity

• Wound healing – Accelerates tissue repair and reduces scar formation

• Antioxidant activity – Protects cells from UV-induced oxidative damage

• Anti-inflammatory – Reduces pro-inflammatory cytokine production

• Hair growth – Stimulates hair follicle proliferation and reduces shedding

Applications

• Anti-aging cosmetics – Serums, creams, and masks for wrinkle reduction

• Post-procedure skincare – Wound healing after laser, chemical peels, or microneedling

• Hair care products – Shampoos, conditioners, and scalp treatments for hair growth

• Regenerative skincare – Formulations for skin barrier repair and rejuvenation

FAQ

1. May I get a sample before placing an order?

Yes, samples are available. For regular products, samples are free of charge and you only need to bear the freight. For high-value products, you need to pay for the freight and a certain product cost.

2. Which payment methods are available for your company?

T/T, PayPal, bank transfer, and other options. You can choose the one that is most convenient for you.

3. How and when can I get my goods after payment?

For small quantities, products will be delivered by international courier (DHL, FedEx, TNT, etc.) or by air. Usually, it takes 5-7 days to receive the goods after shipment.

4. What is the difference between GHK and GHK-Cu?

GHK is the peptide itself. GHK-Cu is the copper complex formed when GHK binds to copper ions, which is the active form used in most cosmetic applications. Our GHK can be formulated to form the copper complex during product manufacturing.

5. What is the recommended usage concentration in cosmetics?

Typical usage concentrations range from 0.5% to 2.0% in topical formulations, depending on the product type and desired effect.

6. What is the recommended storage condition?

Store at 2-8°C (refrigerated), dry, protected from light. The shelf life is 24 months under recommended storage conditions.
