Scientific name: Copper Tripeptides
Classification: Tripeptides
Stimulants, growth enhancers.
Tales from Nature
Copper Tripeptides are small protein fragments linked to short chains of amino acids, the elements of which proteins are made. In the context of skin care and cosmetics, they have a role of great interest due to their potential benefits in promoting skin health and addressing signs of aging.
The CopperTripeptides promote the creation of a healthier environment for hair growth by increasing keratin synthesis. Hair and its structure benefit significantly.
They help tighten skin and improve skin circulation. They also increase collagen formation within the skin, keeping it elastic, firm and youthful in appearance.
Hair Benefits
They are considered one of the most promising and technologically advanced ingredients for combating hair loss and promoting hair regrowth.
1. Anti-hair loss action (DHT Inhibition).
One of the most significant benefits is the ability to block the enzyme 5-alpha reductase. This enzyme is responsible for the conversion of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone (DHT), the main hormone that causes androgenetic alopecia (common baldness). By reducing DHT locally, copper peptides help stop follicle miniaturization.
2. Growth stimulation and vascularization
Copper tripeptides stimulateangiogenesis, or the formation of new blood vessels around the hair follicle.
-
More oxygen and nutrients: improved blood flow nourishes the hair root, making it stronger.
-
Anagenphase: help prolong the active growth phase of the hair (Anagen) and shorten the resting phase (Telogen).
3. Increased hair thickness.
Clinical studies have shown that consistent use of Copper Tripeptides can increase hair follicle size. This transforms thin, fleecy (hair-like) hair into terminal, thicker, pigmented and stronger hair.
4. Anti-inflammatory and restorative action
Hair loss is often accompanied by micro-inflammation of the scalp. Copper Tripeptides possess potent anti-inflammatory properties and stimulate collagen and elastin production, improving overall skin health and creating an ideal environment for growth.
