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
- Accurately weigh the GHK-Cu using a calibrated precision scale.
- Pre-dissolve it in a small amount of distilled or deionised water.
- Stir gently until the solution is uniform.
- Add the solution during the cool-down phase, preferably below 35–40°C.
- Mix gently until evenly distributed.
- Check the finished product’s pH, colour, viscosity and stability.
- 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 systems.
