What it is

A light, water-based gel that spreads thin and dries without a film. It carries 1% AHK-Cu and 1% GHK-Cu, which works out to 300 mg + 300 mg / 30 mL. The blue colour is the copper peptide itself. Nothing is added for colour or scent.

How to use it

Part the hair, apply a few drops to the scalp with the dropper and massage in with your fingertips. For the beard area, work a few drops through to the skin. For brows, use a fingertip or a clean brow brush and keep it off the lash line. Leave it in. Patch test on a small area first and stop if your skin reacts. For external use only. Keep it away from your eyes.

Ingredients

Aqua, Glycerin, Hydroxyethylcellulose, Alanine/Histidine/Lysine Polypeptide Copper HCl, Copper Tripeptide-1, Phenoxyethanol, Ethylhexylglycerin, Disodium EDTA.

Storage

Keep it in the fridge with the lid on. Copper peptides keep best cold and out of the light, which is also why the glass is amber.

Why AHK-Cu

AHK-Cu is the copper peptide most often used in leave-on scalp and hair products, which is why this serum is made for hair first. The base is a water gel with no oils, silicones or fragrance, so it does not grease the hair. The serum is blue, so on fair, grey or bleached hair try a small patch first.

Batch and COA

The batch number is written on the label. Look it up on the batch COA page to see which peptide lot went into it and that lot's certificate of analysis.
