Have YOU Been Searching For A CLEAN Copper Peptide Serum? You've Found it! Copper Peptides, especially the tripeptide known as GHK-Cu (glycyl-L-histidyl-L-lysine copper), are one of skincare’s most remarkable regenerative ingredients. Naturally occurring in the body, this bioavailable peptide binds with copper to support a wide range of skin-repairing functions. As we age, our natural levels of GHK-Cu decline, which can contribute to slower healing, collagen breakdown, and visible signs of aging. In topical skincare, GHK-Cu is prized for stimulating collagen and elastin production, enhancing wound healing, reducing inflammation, and improving skin firmness and texture. It’s gentle enough for sensitive skin yet powerful enough to restore vibrancy and resilience in aging, damaged, or stressed skin. Whether you’re targeting fine lines, loss of elasticity, or post-acne repair, copper peptides offer a science-backed approach to restoring skin health from the inside out.
Stimulates Collagen and Elastin Production. Copper peptides help trigger fibroblasts to produce more collagen, elastin, and glycosaminoglycans (like hyaluronic acid). Over time, this leads to firmer, plumper, and more resilient skin. Promote Wound Healing and Skin Repair a. Copper is essential for angiogenesis (formation of new blood vessels), which supports tissue regeneration b. Helps speed up the healing of acne marks, minor wounds, and micro-damage exfoliation or retinoids. Antioxidant and Anti-Inflammatory Effects a. Copper peptides neutralize free radicals and reduce oxidative stress. b. Calms inflammation, which is linked to redness, irritation, and skin aging. Improve Skin Texture and Tone a. Due to its regenerative and anti-inflammatory action, skin can look smoother, more refined, and even-toned with continued use. b. They can help reduce the appearance of enlarged pores and fine lines. Supports Hair Growth(Topically on Scalp) Copper peptides stimulate the anagen (growth) phase of hair follicles, making them popular in hair serums as well. Compatible with Sensitive Skin When formulated correctly, copper peptides are gentle and non-irritating, even for skin that reacts to retinoids or acids. How Copper Peptides Work at the Cellular Level GHK-Cu binds to cell receptors and upregulates genes responsible for tissue repair and collagen remodeling. They also inhibit destructive enzymes (like MMPs) that break down collagen and elastin with age. Do Copper Peptides Cause Purging or Side Effects? Unlike retinoids, copper peptides do not typically cause purging. If irritation occurs, it’s often due to the formulation's pH or incompatible ingredients, not the peptide. Experience Skin Renewal at a Cellular Level Our Copper Peptide Serum is a powerhouse blend of biomimetic GHK-Cu, skin barrier boosters, and calming botanicals. Designed for all skin types, especially sensitive, stressed, or aging skin, this multitasking formula visibly firms, hydrates, and restores skin resilience.

Shelf Life and Storage Information for Our Products and Ingredients
Finished Products - generally don't need to be refrigerated as they are preserved, but you can refrigerate them to extend their shelf life. The shelf life for most products is 9-12 months. Vitamin C Serum(s) and VitaResurface products should continually be refrigerated to extend their shelf life. Sample Sizes - do have a shorter shelf life (generally 3-6 months), and items in jars can dry up quicker than this if the lid is not tightened well enough (Vitamin C Serums - use within 90 days).
Please Keep Your Products Out of Humidity, Heat, Direct Light and in a Dark Cabinet When Possible
Exfoliating Acid - products have a shelf life of 9-12 months. The only things we don't suggest refrigerating are the Mandelic Acid Serums or Salicylic Acid Serums, as they can crystallize in the refrigerator. If this happens, you can set the product into a hot water bath to see if the crystals will dissolve.
Additional Items That Require Refrigeration and/or Kept in the Dark
Hydrosols and Distillates - remove 1 ounce of hydrosol and add it into a separate,sterilized spray bottle and spritzer. Keep the larger bottle in the refrigerator. Carrier and Exotic Oils - generally, you can refrigerate all carrier oils, although some very rich oils will solidify. This is fine. All you have to do is take it out, warm it up at room temperature and it should liquefy. If not, set the bottle in a hot water bath and occasionally shake the bottle, which will hopefully turn into a liquid. There are some oils with a super long shelf life, like Coconut Cream and Jojoba Oil.
Refrigeration of The Following Ingredients is Not Necessary, But it Won't hurt
Essential Oils - essential oils are best stored in a cool, dark place. Co2 Extracts - these should continually be refrigerated. Butters - we suggest refrigerating our "skincare" butters. You can remove what you need and keep the rest in the fridge. Clays - keep in a dry, dark place. Shelf life is at least 2 years. Herbs - all herbs (whole or ground) should be kept in a dark, cool and dry location. Herbal (liquid) Extracts - these are created using grain alcohol. The alcohol pulls the constituents (properties) from each herb - root, trunk, leaves, and flowers. They have a shelf life of 3-5 years. They can be stored in the refrigerator or a dark, dry place. Other Raw Ingredients - i.e., Sodium PCA, Honeyquat, Oat Beta Glucan, etc. will all have a different shelf life.
Distilled Water - hydration Leucidal SF - Lactobacillis Ferment) - is a natural probiotic-based preservative created by the fermentation of Lactobacillus in a defined growth medium Niacinamide(B-3) - skin lightening, anti-aging agents, stimulates circulation, anti-inflammatory Glycerin - humectant Oat Beta Glucans - healing, anti-aging, anti-irritant, anti-itch, since it can work through the Cellular Lipid Matrix (the matrix of the lipids) lends itself to diminishing the appearance of fine line and wrinkles, excellent moisturizer with film forming moisturizing properties stimulates collagen synthesis (meaning to create a matrix by combining actual dermis properties synergistically) Pantothenic Acid - wound healing, part of the vitamin B complex
N-acetyl Glucosamine glucose based monosaccharide, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, naturally increases natural production of hyaluronic acid, promising evidence showing this helps to fight hyperpigmentation Sodium PCA - is the sodium salt of pyroglutamic acid (also known as PCA). PCA is a naturally occurring component of human skin and a part of the "natural moisturizing factors" (NMF) that maintain a healthy epidermis. Zemea - leaves a beautiful feel to the hair strand. Benefits of Zemea® propanediol include its purity, lack of irritation and sensitization, and environmentally sustainable nature. Derived through a corn sugar fermentation process. Approved by Ecocert™ and certified by the Natural Products Association (NPA), Zemea® is a 100% natural ingredient. Allantoin - relieves dry, itchy, irritated skin, believed to heal skin by promoting new tissue growth GHK-CU .2% - boosts the production of collagen and elastin, the key proteins that maintain skin firmness, elasticity, and smoothness while also encouraging fibroblasts (skin repair cells) to synthesize new matrix components, leading to firmer, plumper skin. Hyaluronic Acid (LMW) - (bio-engineered source) hydrating,
can hold up to 1,000 times its weight in water Fulvic Acid - is a natural chelator. It binds to minerals (like magnesium, zinc, copper) and transports nutrients deep into skin cells. Hyaluronic Acid (HMW) - (bio-engineered source) hydrating,
can hold up to 1,000 times its weight in water

Absolutely loving (no surprise) this serum - I am targeting all the things as I'm acne prone and close to 40 years old so really putting this one to the test! Further use will show the true results but my skin has been really happy with this new addition. Thank you GoW for always giving great clean options at an incredible value!!!
Oh, Rachel
The 'no surprise' comment seriously brought a tear to my eye. Just one eye, yes, but only because I can get very weepy 😂 Working on the future of your skin is really an inspiration!
Thank us? No, Thank YOU for being such a gracious customer!
