WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN COPPER AND COPPER PEPTIDES? WHICH ONE DO WE USE?Updated 6 months ago

Our copper complex has two amino acids along with Methyl Glucoside Phosphate attached to the copper.  

Both a copper peptide and our copper complex aim at addressing collagen and elastin production. 

Copper peptides usually signify the combination of copper and amino acids. Historically, you would clearly see the words “peptide and copper” noted on the ingredient list. However, something to note, a peptide is just a chain of amino acids; some are tri (three), tetra, etc.).  

Our copper complex is basically copper combined with additional amino acids. It consists of Methyl Glucoside Phosphate Proline Lysine Copper Complex.  

The word “complex” is in relation to all of the ingredients listed in tandem.  

We have copper combined with two amino acids ang Methyl Glucoside Phosphate (that is effectively the “complex”). 

Methyl Glucoside Phosphate: a monosaccharide (simple sugar) derived from glucose to hydrate the skin and act as a humectant. Proline: Proline is an amino acid that is primarily used in anti-aging skincare products because of its ability to help improve skin elasticity, increase collagen production, and promote skin repair and regeneration.  

Lysine: amino acid salt that plays a role in keeping the skin hydrated and produces supportive substances to keep the ski looking smooth and youthful. It does also play a role in keeping the skin hydrated by balancing the transport of water through the layers of the skin. Also plays a role in collagen and elastin production. Copper complex Copper reactivates Lysyloxidase, the enzyme that enables reticulation and maturation of collagens and elastin.
