Product Introduction of Cosmetic Raw Material 89030 - 95 – 5  (GHK - Cu)

· Chemical Formula and Molecular Weight: The chemical formula of GHK - Cu is C₁₄H₂₄CuN₆O₅, with a molecular weight of approximately 406.98 g/mol. This specific chemical formula determines its molecular structure and fundamental chemical properties.

· Appearance and Physical Properties: It is usually a blue to blue-green powder and has a certain hygroscopicity. Its color mainly stems from the presence of copper ions, while the hygroscopicity is related to some polar groups in its molecular structure. These groups can interact with water molecules in the air.

· Solubility: GHK - Cu is readily soluble in water and can form a stable solution in it. This property endows it with good dispersibility and compatibility in applications such as biological systems and cosmetic formulations. It can also dissolve in some polar organic solvents, like ethanol, but its solubility in these solvents is relatively lower compared to that in water.

· Stability: GHK - Cu exhibits good stability under normal temperature and pressure. However, it is sensitive to light, heat, and pH. Under light conditions, it may undergo photochemical reactions, leading to changes in its structure and properties. High temperatures also affect its stability, and it is generally recommended to store it at a temperature not exceeding 30°C. In environments with different pH values, its degree of ionization and existing form will vary. The most stable pH range is usually between 5 and 7.

· Coordination Characteristics: The copper ions in GHK - Cu form coordination bonds with specific atoms of glycine, histidine, and lysine. This coordination structure endows the molecule with unique chemical activity and stability. The existence of coordination bonds enables copper ions to participate in chemical reactions to a certain extent, and also affects the overall electron cloud distribution and chemical properties of the molecule. For example, this coordination structure allows GHK - Cu to bind to specific receptors or targets through the coordination action of copper ions when interacting with other biological molecules, thereby exerting its biological functions.

· Redox Properties: Due to the presence of copper ions, GHK - Cu has certain redox properties. Copper ions can switch between different oxidation states. In biological systems, this redox characteristic enables it to participate in some redox reactions, such as acting as an antioxidant to capture free radicals, or serving as an electron transfer agent in the catalytic reactions of certain enzymes.

The product code is 89030 - 95 - 5. Its common name is GHK - Cu (Glycyl - L - Histidyl - L - Lysine - Cu (Ⅱ) complex), also known as copper tripeptide. It is a complex formed by the ingenious combination of three amino acids, glycine, L - histidine, and L - lysine, with copper ions. Its unique structure endows it with excellent properties and makes it shine in the field of biological raw materials. Here are six main selling points:

1. Powerful Antioxidation, Combating Free Radicals: GHK - Cu has a strong antioxidant capacity and can efficiently capture and neutralize free radicals. Free radicals are key factors leading to cell damage and aging. By exerting its antioxidant effect, GHK - Cu can effectively reduce the attack and damage of free radicals on cells, protect the integrity of cell structure and function, and delay the cell aging process. Taking skin cells as an example, long - term use of products containing GHK - Cu can significantly reduce problems such as spots and dullness caused by free radical damage, keeping the skin youthful and radiant.

2. High - Efficiency Regeneration Promotion, Accelerating Wound Healing: GHK - Cu performs outstandingly in the wound - healing process. It can stimulate the activity of fibroblasts, accelerate cell proliferation and differentiation, and promote the synthesis of collagen and extracellular matrix, thus speeding up the wound - healing rate and reducing the probability of scar formation. Clinical studies have shown that when GHK - Cu is applied in the treatment of burns, surgical wounds, etc., the wound - healing time is significantly shortened, and the scars after healing are flatter and finer.

3. Remarkable Anti - Aging, Enhancing Skin Firmness: GHK - Cu can effectively promote the production of collagen and elastin. Collagen is like the "reinforcement" of the skin, endowing the skin with firmness and elasticity; elastin is like a "spring", giving the skin good stretchability. With the increase of age, the synthesis of collagen and elastin in the human body decreases, and the skin becomes loose and wrinkled. GHK - Cu can reverse this trend, increase the production of the two proteins, enhance skin firmness, reduce fine lines and wrinkles, and restore the skin to a youthful state.

4. Excellent Anti - Inflammatory Property, Soothing Sensitive Skin: GHK - Cu has a significant inhibitory effect on the inflammatory response. It can regulate the release of inflammatory cytokines and reduce the damage of inflammation to tissues, especially suitable for people with sensitive skin. Sensitive skin often shows inflammatory symptoms such as redness, itching, and tingling due to external stimuli. Using products containing GHK - Cu can effectively soothe these discomforts, repair the skin barrier, and enhance skin resistance.

5. Unique and Stable Structure, Outstanding Performance Advantages: From a molecular structure perspective, the copper ion is at the center and coordinates with specific atoms of the three amino acids. This unique structure endows GHK - Cu with good stability. It can maintain its biological activity and function in different environments. Whether under extreme storage conditions such as high temperature and high humidity or in complex formula systems, GHK - Cu can stably play its role, ensuring product quality and effectiveness.

6. Wide Applicability, Diverse Field Applications: GHK - Cu has a very wide range of applications. In the cosmetics field, it is often used in products such as serums, creams, masks, and eye creams, exerting anti - aging, repair, and moisturizing effects. In the medical field, it can be used in wound - healing drugs and skin - damage repair preparations. In scientific research, as an important research object, it helps to explore the mechanisms of cell growth and repair, providing key support for life - science research.
