The advance application of Copper Tripeptide (CAS 89030-95-5)

1. Cosmetic & Skincare (Primary Market)

• Anti-Aging: Stimulates synthesis of collagen, elastin, and glycosaminoglycans (e.g., hyaluronic acid), reducing wrinkles and improving skin firmness and hydration.
• Antioxidant: Activates the endogenous antioxidant enzyme superoxide dismutase (SOD), protecting skin from oxidative stress.
• Repair & Healing: Accelerates wound healing, reduces scarring, and improves skin barrier function.
• Anti-Inflammatory: Calms skin, reduces redness, and soothes irritation.
• Hair Growth: Stimulates hair follicle cells, used in scalp treatments and hair loss serums.

2. Biomedical & Therapeutic

• Wound Healing: Enhances healing of chronic wounds (diabetic ulcers, burns) by attracting repair cells and modulating inflammation.
• Tissue Regeneration: Investigated for nerve repair, bone regeneration, and internal organ healing due to its ability to shift gene activity toward regenerative states.
• Post-Surgical Care: Used to minimize scarring and improve recovery.

• Gene Modulation: Influences over 4,000 genes involved in tissue repair, inflammation, and antioxidant defense.
• Copper Delivery: Provides bioavailable copper as an essential cofactor for key enzymatic processes.
• Chemotaxis: Acts as a signal to recruit immune cells (macrophages) to sites of damage.

• Concentration: 0.5% to 3% in serums, creams, gels, and masks.
• Synergies: Often combined with other peptides (e.g., Matrixyl), antioxidants (Vitamin C, E), and hyaluronic acid.
• Appearance: Characteristic blue color due to the copper complex.
• Stability: Requires protection from extreme pH, heat, and certain preservatives.

• Generally well-tolerated topically; rare irritation.
• Cosmetic-grade use is predominant; therapeutic wound-care applications are more regulated.
• Efficacy depends on formulation quality and skin penetration.
