Dermal
Dermal research peptides are the compounds studied in skin, extracellular matrix, and inflammation signaling. This is a small category by product count and an unusually well-documented one by research history.
The compounds
GHK-Cu is the copper complex of a tripeptide that occurs naturally in human plasma, first isolated in the 1970s, with one of the longest research records of any compound in this catalog spanning copper transport, matrix signaling, and gene expression studies. It also offers a rare visual quality cue: properly complexed GHK-Cu is unmistakably blue, in powder and especially in solution, because the copper-peptide bond absorbs red light.
KPV is the C-terminal tripeptide fragment of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone, studied in inflammation-signaling research and frequently paired with BPC-157 in the literature. The multi-compound GLOW and KLOW blends both carry GHK-Cu as their largest component by mass, with KLOW adding KPV as its fourth compound.
What to check before ordering
Color is a useful first-pass signal on a copper peptide but it is not analysis. The compounds here are tested by an independent laboratory for purity by HPLC and identity by mass spectrometry, with certificates published in our COA portal before purchase. Blends carry the higher bar of component-level assay data, because a single number on a multi-peptide vial cannot tell you what is in it. Our guide to reading a certificate of analysis walks through the document field by field. All compounds are sold for laboratory research use only.
