Copper peptides, also known as Cu-GHK or copper tripeptide-1, are small protein fragments that contain the element copper. This scientific name was derived from the combination of "Cu" which is the chemical symbol for copper, and "GHK" which stands for the three amino acids glycine, histidine, and lysine. These peptides play a crucial role in skin health and rejuvenation, making them a popular ingredient in skincare products.
Copper peptides have been widely studied for their skin-renewing properties. They are known for their ability to promote collagen production, improve skin elasticity, and enhance wound healing. Additionally, copper peptides have antioxidant properties that help protect the skin from free radical damage and premature ageing. When applied topically, these peptides can penetrate the skin barrier and deliver anti-aging benefits at a cellular level.
Kissed Earth offers two products that contain copper peptides: Enrich and Radiance. Enrich is a nourishing serum that combines copper peptides with other potent ingredients to hydrate and revitalise the skin. Radiance is a brightening serum that helps reduce the appearance of dark spots and uneven skin tone, thanks to the skin-renewing properties of copper peptides. Incorporating these products into your skincare routine can help achieve a radiant, youthful complexion.
