Interesting info on copper from skinactives

In human serum, copper spontaneously binds to glycyl-histidyl-lysine (GHK), a tripeptide complex that has high affinity for the copper (II) ion. This complex has been shown in vitro and in vivo to accelerate wound healing.

We sell most of our actives as pure powders but copper peptide must be used at very low concentrations to have beneficial activity (too much may lead to protein breakdown). In order to achieve optimal concentrations in the final product, we have created this 0.1% solution to be added to creams and lotions: easy to handle but sufficiently concentrated keep the texture of the cream unchanged

The final color of the cream will have just a hint of blue from the copper.
