Skin & beauty

Research peptides for skin and cosmetic science, such as the copper tripeptide GHK-Cu, SNAP-8 and the Glow 70 and Glow 80 blends. ≥99% purity with COA, for laboratory use only.

Skin research peptides

The skin category covers research peptides used in dermatological and cosmetic science: studies on fibroblasts, collagen and the extracellular matrix, and on the signalling behind skin structure. Here you can buy skin research peptides such as GHK-Cu and SNAP-8, as well as the Glow 70 and Glow 80 blends.

Every product has ≥99% HPLC purity, identity confirmed by mass spectrometry and a certificate of analysis on the product page. These are research reagents for in vitro and laboratory use only – not for human or veterinary use, and not for use as cosmetic ingredients.

GHK-Cu, Glow 70, Glow 80 and SNAP-8

GHK-Cu is a copper tripeptide (glycyl-histidyl-lysine bound to copper) that occurs naturally in human plasma. It is studied in cell and tissue models of collagen synthesis, wound repair and extracellular matrix remodelling.

Glow 70 and Glow 80 are multi-peptide research blends for skin studies, supplied in 70 mg and 80 mg vials. See the product pages for the details of each blend.

SNAP-8 is an acetylated octapeptide (acetyl octapeptide-3) from cosmetic science. It is studied for its interaction with the SNARE protein complex, which is involved in neurotransmitter release.

Storage and shipping

Store the lyophilised peptides dark and dry at 2–8 °C for short periods or at −20 °C for longer storage. After reconstitution, keep the solution in the fridge and protect it from light.

We ship from Belgium and Germany: 1–2 working days to BE, NL and DE, 2–5 working days to Italy and Türkiye. Shipping within the EU is free from €250.

Frequently asked questions

What is GHK-Cu?

GHK-Cu is a naturally occurring copper tripeptide made of glycine, histidine and lysine. In research it is studied in models of collagen synthesis and extracellular matrix remodelling.

What is the difference between Glow 70 and Glow 80?

Both are multi-peptide research blends for skin studies. They differ in total peptide content per vial (70 mg vs 80 mg) and in composition – the product pages list the details.

Can I use these peptides in cosmetic products?

No. Our skin peptides are research reagents for laboratory use only. They are not intended for cosmetic formulations or for human or veterinary use.
