Peptiboost® CU P is a water-soluble copper tripeptide that enhances skin barrier function and promotes skin repair. Originally identified as glycyl-L-histidyl-L-lysine (GHK-Cu), it supports the formation of copper-dependent enzymes essential for cellular function. Peptiboost® Cu P exhibits anti-wrinkle and anti-aging properties, firms the skin, and stimulates hair follicle enlargement and growth. It is recommended for use in skin care and hair care applications.

Efficacy
  • - anti-wrinkle effect
  • - remodels skin
  • - increases skin thickness
  • - improves barrier repair and barrier function
  • - improves wound healing
  • - stimulation of hair growth
  • - enlarging of hair follicles
  • Peptiboost® Cu P is a synthetic signal and carrier peptid. Important for the formation of copper en- zymes, including cytochrome C oxidase (energy production), superoxide dismutase (anti-oxidation) and lysyl oxidase (cross linking of elastin and col- lagen skin).
  • lt was shown that copper, delivered in the form of copper peptides, stimulate many actions: repair and remodelling of skin, reduction of wrinkles, firm and elastic skin, enlargement of hair follicles and stimulation of hair growth.
  • Peptiboost® Cu P also ac- celerates wound healing and supports the build up of granulation tissue.
Application Information
  • Copper Tripeptide is a multifunctional component which is naturally present in body (signal and carrier peptide) and is responsible for stimulation of collagen synthesis, anti-inflammatory actions, accelerated wound healing and tissue repair.

Peptiboost® CU P - Application Information - 1

  • The skin remodeling properties of Copper Tripeptide can even lead to scar and stretch mark removal as old cells are degrated and new cell growth is promoted.
  • Peptiboost® Cu P is suitable for use in high quality Anti-Aging cosmetic products like facial creams, mask and ampoules, after-sun and hair care products.
