What is Tripeptide?
Topically applicable, less than 500 Daltons M.W. (500 Da. Rule), 3 amino acid signaling proteins, over 30 year biomimetic expert, all invented and patented by Dr. JH Hahn.
- All of over 30 peptides are tri or tetra (3-mer or 4-mer) peptides.
- Can be functionally utilized as a single tripeptide itself or combined tripeptide complexes for synergic effects.
- So, can be used excellently for a full line of cosmetic or cosmeceutical functional needs, but also as OTC inactive ingredients or excipients.
- Working Mechanism: agonistic (friendly) or antagonistic (inhibitive)

Typical example- “GHK” for the amino acids that comprise it (glycine, histidine, and lysine), tripeptide-1 is a synthetic signal peptide known to work with copper in skin to visibly repair substances that have begun to deteriorate due to age and sun exposure.
The role of copper in collagen and elastin production, GHK-Cu peptide (Palmityol Tripeptide-1) can help promote smooth and plump skin. A 2015 placebo-controlled study found that consistent application of copper peptides through the use of skin cream can significantly improve skin quality.
