GHK-Cu 3% Solution | 15 mL

Copper Tripeptide-1 Active Ingredient

Product Overview

GHK-Cu (Copper Tripeptide-1) is a bioactive copper-binding peptide widely used in advanced cosmetic and research formulations. This complex of glycyl-L-histidyl-L-lysine and copper is known for its role in cellular signaling pathways associated with tissue remodeling, extracellular matrix production, and skin conditioning.

Our GHK-Cu 3% Solution provides a pre-dissolved, formulation-ready active designed for easy incorporation into water-based serums, gels, creams, and other topical preparations.

The characteristic deep blue color is due to the copper ion bound to the peptide complex.
