It occurs naturally in human plasma and becomes less abundant with age. Dr Loren Pickart identified it and has published on it since the 1970s; most of the research literature on copper peptides traces back to his work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe powder is a deep blue. That colour is the copper, not a dye.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWater-soluble. It will not disperse into oil on its own — use an emulsifier if your formula contains an oil phase.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHow much to use\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eRecommended rate is \u003cstrong\u003e1%\u003c\/strong\u003e, which is \u003cstrong\u003e1 gram per 100 ml\u003c\/strong\u003e of finished formula.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBatch size\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eAmount for 1%\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e50 ml\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.5 g\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e100 ml\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1.0 g\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1 oz (30 ml)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.3 g\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2 oz (60 ml)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.6 g\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWeigh it. Powders are not measured in drops, and a small digital scale is the right tool here.

It is used on the face, neck and chest, and in hair and scalp formulas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt is gentle. Sensitivity is uncommon, which is part of why formulators reach for it instead of harsher actives. Patch test on the inside of the arm before first use anyway.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOne combination to avoid:\u003c\/strong\u003e do not put copper peptide and vitamin C in the same formula.
