Collection: Aesthetic Research

Our Aesthetic Research collection features research peptides that have featured in dermatological and cosmetic science literature, with applications studied in skin biology, collagen research, extracellular matrix studies, and wound healing models. All products are supplied for laboratory research only with full batch documentation.

GHK-Cu (copper tripeptide-1) is one of the most extensively researched cosmetic peptides in the scientific literature. The complex consists of the tripeptide glycyl-L-histidyl-L-lysine bound to a copper(II) ion, and has been investigated across decades of dermatological research relating to collagen synthesis, extracellular matrix remodelling, antioxidant activity, and skin biology. Copper peptides carry a substantial peer-reviewed footprint in both cosmetic chemistry and wound-healing research.

KPV is a tripeptide derived from α-melanocyte-stimulating hormone that has appeared in academic research relating to inflammatory pathway modulation. Although primarily studied in mucosal and immunological contexts (see also our Recovery Research collection), it has drawn separate research interest in dermatological models examining inflammatory skin conditions.

Each compound in this collection is sourced from verified manufacturers and independently tested in UK laboratories. HPLC purity analysis and mass spectrometry confirmation of identity are performed on every batch, with full Certificate of Analysis documentation included. Typical purity is ≥98%.

Research compounds are supplied strictly for laboratory and research purposes. They are not intended for human or veterinary administration, consumption, medical treatment, diagnosis, or therapeutic application. Storage and reconstitution guidance is provided on each product page.
