What are skin and tanning peptides?

GHK-Cu is a copper-binding tripeptide found in human plasma, studied for collagen production and wound repair. AHK-Cu is a close cousin studied in hair follicle work, and Snap-8 is an eight-amino-acid cosmetic peptide studied for expression lines.

Melanotan 1 and Melanotan 2 are analogs of alpha-MSH, the hormone that tells skin cells to make melanin. Melanotan 1 (afamelanotide) is an approved drug for a rare light sensitivity disorder in some countries, while Melanotan 2 is a research compound only.

How to choose skin and tanning peptides

For skin repair and collagen models, start with GHK-Cu, or GLOW and KLOW if you want the repair peptides in the same vial. For formulation work, the raw powders let you make your own test batches.

For pigmentation research, Melanotan 1 is the more selective compound and Melanotan 2 the broader one.

Quality and handling for our skin and tanning peptides

Every product in this range carries a label with the product name and amount.

Labs that check incoming material themselves usually confirm identity by mass spectrometry and measure purity by HPLC.

Store sealed vials in the freezer and reconstitute with bacteriostatic water. Every vial page lists the concentration you’ll get for each volume, and our 10 vial kit case keeps vials upright in the fridge.

Ordering and shipping

Every order ships free, with no minimum, to the US, Canada, Europe, Australia and the rest of the world. Orders are packed so vials stay upright and protected in transit, and freeze-dried powder is stable at room temperature for the journey.
