Description

GHK-Cu Copper Peptide Shampoo

Cosmetic-Grade Peptide Hair Cleanser
Tagline: Peptide-Infused Cleansing & Scalp Surface Research


Product Description

GHK-Cu Copper Peptide Shampoo is a topical cosmetic cleansing formulation incorporating GHK-Cu (copper tripeptide-1) within a surfactant-based shampoo system designed for hair and scalp application.

GHK-Cu is a copper-binding tripeptide complex studied in biochemical and cosmetic research for its interaction with proteins, peptides, and extracellular matrix-related systems. In formulation contexts, it is used to evaluate peptide–metal complex behavior and surface interaction properties.

This shampoo formulation combines cleansing agents with peptide infusion, enabling research into scalp surface dynamics, hair fiber interaction, and formulation stability within rinse-off systems.

For Cosmetic and Laboratory Research Use Only. Not for Injectable or Therapeutic Use.


Why Researchers Choose This Formulation
  • Incorporates GHK-Cu copper peptide into a cleansing system

  • Suitable for hair and scalp formulation research

  • Supports peptide–surface interaction studies

  • Designed for rinse-off topical delivery evaluation

  • Combines surfactant chemistry with peptide systems

  • Compatible with cosmetic testing workflows


Important Note

For cosmetic and laboratory research use only. Not for human consumption, injection, or therapeutic application.

Research

Research Applications

Hair & Scalp Cleansing System Studies

This formulation is used in research evaluating surfactant-based cleansing systems, including removal of oils, residues, and buildup from hair and scalp surfaces.

Peptide–Surface Interaction Research

GHK-Cu is studied for its interaction with protein structures, making this formulation relevant for hair fiber (keratin) and scalp surface interaction models.

Rinse-Off Delivery System Evaluation

The shampoo format allows investigation into contact time, distribution, and removal behavior of peptide-containing formulations in rinse-off conditions.

Formulation Stability & Surfactant Compatibility

Used in laboratory environments to assess peptide stability, foaming behavior, and compatibility with surfactant systems.

Mechanism of Action

Mechanism of Action
Surfactant Cleansing Action

The formulation contains surfactant agents that reduce surface tension, enabling emulsification and removal of oils, particulates, and residues from hair and scalp surfaces.

Copper–Peptide Complex Behavior (GHK-Cu)

GHK-Cu forms a coordination complex with copper ions, allowing interaction with proteins and biomolecules in surface-level research models.

Surface Interaction with Hair Fibers

Formulation components may interact with keratin structures through hydrogen bonding and electrostatic forces, influencing surface properties.

Rinse-Off System Dynamics

The shampoo acts as a temporary carrier system, allowing distribution of components during application before removal with water.
