About

Copper Aminoacetylamino Imidazolyl Propanoate is a cosmetic ingredient. Exercise caution due to limited available safety data.

Copper peptides are well-established cosmetic actives with demonstrated wound healing and collagen-stimulating properties. This compound uses an aminoacetylamino-imidazolyl propanoate linker to present copper to skin. The GHK-Cu tripeptide is one of the best characterised copper peptides in cosmetics. EU cosmetics do not restrict copper peptides, which have a long history of safe use.

Skin benefits

  • Promotes collagen and elastin synthesis
  • Accelerates wound healing and skin repair
