AHK-Cu(Copper Tripeptide-3)
AHK-Cu (INCI Copper Tripeptide-3) is synthetic Ala-His-Lys copper complex crystalline powder, unique peptide targeted to dermal papilla hair follicle cells. Two forms available: 98% HPLC powder and 10% liposome penetration liquid. It extends hair follicle anagen phase for anti-hair loss, and boosts collagen synthesis to repair sensitive skin & fade fine lines. Strictly cosmetic-only grade, tested on heavy metals & impurities, compliant with EU CosIng & SCCS safety standards.
We supply bulk peptide wholesale, compound peptide blending & neutral OEM packaging. Widely used in anti-hair loss scalp serum, hair tonic, anti-wrinkle essence & sensitive repair facial cream. Complete SDS, COA & EU registration documents provided for cross-border cosmetic brands.

Core Benefits & Functional Mechanism of AHK-Cu Copper Tripeptide-3
AHK-Cu selectively acts on hair dermal papilla cells to prolong hair follicle growth phase, inhibit follicle cell apoptosis and boost scalp microcirculation to reduce shedding. On facial skin, it stimulates collagen & glycosaminoglycan synthesis, repairs damaged barrier, relieves inflammatory redness and smooths fine wrinkles. Distinct hair-targeted activity compared with general GHK-Cu copper peptide.
Classic compound collocation: AHK-Cu + Minoxidil + Acetyl Tetrapeptide-3 anti-hair loss serum; AHK-Cu + Panthenol sensitive repair facial cream.
- Follicle-targeted copper peptide, superior anti-hair loss efficacy vs GHK-Cu
- Dual application: scalp anti-shedding & facial anti-aging repair
- Water-soluble powder + penetration liposome dual forms for all formulas
- Synergistic with minoxidil & anti-aging peptides to boost effect
- Mild, no drug resistance for long-term scalp continuous use
- Fully EU CosIng registered, loose legal dosage range for brand R&D
Formulation Tips: Scalp serum dosage 0.01%-0.05%; facial cream 0.005%-0.03%. Store sealed at low temperature away from strong light & high heat.
