GHK Blue Copper GLOW Peptide 30mg Lyophilised Powder
A blend of Tripeptide‑1 and Oligopeptide‑1 is a popular pairing in cosmetic science because both peptides act as signal molecules that encourage the skin to repair itself, rebuild collagen, and strengthen the extracellular matrix. When combined, they form a compact, synergistic system that many formulators use in anti‑ageing and skin‑rejuvenation products.
What This Blend Actually Is
A Tripeptide‑1 & Oligopeptide‑1 blend is simply a mixture of two short peptides:
Tripeptide‑1 (GHK) — a collagen‑fragment signal peptide
Oligopeptide‑1 — an EGF‑mimicking peptide fragment used for regeneration studies
Because it’s a blend, it does not have a single molecular formula. Each peptide keeps its own structure.

CAS Number: 72957‑37‑0
Tripeptide‑1 is a small, three‑amino‑acid peptide (GHK) widely used in research and cosmetic science for its role in collagen signalling, skin repair, and extracellular‑matrix regulation. It appears in many UK and EU skincare formulations and is one of the most studied cosmetic peptides for anti‑ageing mechanisms.

Oligopeptide‑1 — What It Is?
Oligopeptide‑1 is the INCI (cosmetic‑science) name for a short chain of amino acids designed to mimic natural skin‑repair signals. It is often associated with Epidermal Growth Factor (EGF)–mimicking peptides, though it is not the same as full EGF.
Type: Synthetic signalling peptide
Function: Encourages cellular communication in skin‑repair models
Use: Common in serums, creams, and anti‑ageing formulations.
🧬 Why These Two Peptides Are Paired
• Collagen signalling boost
Tripeptide‑1 (GHK) is known for stimulating fibroblasts to produce collagen I, III, and IV.
Oligopeptide‑1 supports similar pathways, giving a layered signalling effect.
• Enhanced extracellular‑matrix repair
Together, they help researchers study how peptides influence:
hyaluronic‑acid synthesis
glycosaminoglycan production
structural protein organisation
• Regeneration & wound‑healing models
Oligopeptide‑1 is often used in studies involving keratinocyte migration and skin‑barrier recovery, while Tripeptide‑1 focuses on collagen‑matrix rebuilding.
• Anti‑ageing formulation synergy
Cosmetic labs frequently combine them to explore improvements in: firmness, elasticity, wrinkle depth,overall skin texture.
When you receive a peptide as a lyophilised (freeze‑dried) powder, it needs to be dissolved in a sterile liquid so it can be used in research assays. Bacteriostatic water is often chosen because:
-
it contains 0.9% benzyl alcohol, which helps prevent bacterial growth
-
it allows multi‑use access to the vial
-
it keeps peptides stable for longer compared to plain sterile water.
