Scientific name: Copper Tripeptide-1
Classification: Peptide
Anti-aging, elasticity-boosting, restorative.
Stories from Nature
Copper tripeptides occur naturally within the structure of the dermis and play a fundamental role in their interaction with proteins, such as collagen, which is essential for maintaining firm, youthful skin. As we age, copper tripeptide levels decrease naturally.
Their inclusion in facial skincare formulations acts as an antioxidant, stimulates the production of collagen and elastin, and removes damaged collagen and elastin from the skin.
Skin Benefits
Copper Tripeptide-1 works deeply to promote skin health through several targeted actions:
-
Structural anti-aging action: It stimulates the synthesis of collagen and elastin, which are essential for keeping the skin young, firm, and elastic.
-
Tissue regeneration: It removes damaged collagen and elastin from the skin, promoting continuous renewal of skin tissues.
-
Visible improvement in appearance: refines skin texture and significantly enhances radiance.
-
Deep antioxidant protection: actively combats oxidative stress and the signs of aging.
Skin Benefits
-
Stimulates growth: extends the anagen (growth) phase and increases follicle size, promoting the growth of thicker hair.
-
Anti-DHT Action: Inhibits the 5-alpha reductase enzyme, protecting follicles from hormone-induced atrophy (alopecia).
-
Improves Anchorage: Stimulates collagen and elastin, making the dermis denser and firmly anchoring the hair root.
-
Oxygenates the hair bulb: promotes the formation of new microvessels (angiogenesis), maximizing the supply of oxygen and nutrients.
-
Reduces inflammation: It reduces oxidative stress and micro-inflammation in the skin, creating the ideal “environment” for healthy growth.
