The Science

What is GHK-Cu?

GHK-Cu is a naturally occurring copper-binding tripeptide (Glycyl-L-Histidyl-L-Lysine) first isolated from human plasma in 1973. Native levels decline with age — it is one of the most studied peptides in cosmetic science, valued for helping improve the look of firmness, tone, and texture.

Mechanism

A copper-binding tripeptide included at 0.5%, delivered through a 60% grass-fed tallow base with 5% dimethyl isosorbide.

Peer-Reviewed

Over 100 published studies across dermatology and cosmetic chemistry journals.
