How to Use
Dissolve GHK-Cu Powder in the water phase according to the supplier technical data sheet.

Keep the temperature below 40°C.
Avoid long exposure to high heat.
Avoid strong chelating agents that may bind copper.
Also, avoid strong oxidizing agents.
Maintain a suitable pH range based on supplier stability data.
Furthermore, test the final product for stability, safety, color stability, and compatibility before launch.
Important Dosage Note
Do not automatically use the same dosage range used for diluted copper peptide solutions.
Pure or concentrated GHK-Cu powder requires careful calculation based on peptide purity, copper content, active content, and supplier recommendation.
If a commercial product is described as “5000 ppm,” confirm whether this refers to the raw material solution, the active peptide level, or the final use concentration.

GHK-Cu Powder supports a firmer, smoother, and more revitalized skin appearance. It is commonly used as a cosmetic copper peptide that helps improve the visible look of firmness, elasticity, fine lines, and skin texture.
