What is Copper Tripeptide?
Copper tripeptide is an amino acid chain consisting of glycine, histidine and lysine. These peptides are naturally found in the body, but for cosmetic use they are synthesized in a lab. Synthetic ingredients in the cosmetic world minimize the footprint of human consumption and keep the price of important ingredients reasonable. Copper tripeptide is one of the best ingredients for hair loss. The amino acid chain stimulates blood flow, increases the anagen (growth) phase of the hair cycle and increases follicle size. As we age, the copper tripeptide in our body decreases allowing for smaller and weaker hair follicles, making hair thinner and weaker. Adding copper tripeptide to our scalp treatment helps reverse these effects to give you healthier, stronger hair.
