The anti-aging skincare market worldwide has been witnessing a fundamental change. Per the Zion Market Research statistics, the market size of the industry was at USD 216 billion in 2021, with the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of the China anti-aging market at 12.7% in the Asia-Pacific region. The Ipsos research indicates that the generation that followed the 90s spends 23% more money on anti-aging products per year than the previous generation, with the generation that followed the 00s making up 18% of the market, which began a 'national anti-aging' trend.Blue copper peptide(GHK-Cu) is a cosmetic R&D' strategic element' due to its unique bioactivity in this technology-beauty collision. Amazing Discovery: Healing Wounds and Fighting Aging
Blue copper peptidewas discovered in 1973 when a scientist, Loren Pickart, was studying blood elements. It is molecularly structured as a tripeptide of glycine-histidine-lysine with copper ions, and forms stable blue crystals. Experiments conducted by HANSHE Laboratory of Shanghai Inoherb Cosmetics Co., Ltd. proved that their blue copper peptide cream had increased the thickness of the DEJ (dermal-epidermal junction) layer by 19% and collagen fiber density by 27%, with internationally leading results in anti-wrinkle efficacy evaluation. The researcher at the Institute of Process Engineering, Chinese Academy of Sciences, demonstrated that blue copper peptide has 3.2 times more available than ordinary peptides. It preserves over 90% of its activity in the pH range between 5.5 and 7.0, which is superior to other alike peptides. Blue-copper-peptides-concentration-by-the-OGP-Brand-R&D-Team-was-0.5%. They applied microencapsulation to stabilize it and human studies reduced the wrinkles of the crow's feet by 13.9% within 28 days. Blue Copper Peptideinitiates the TGF-β1 pathway to increase the number of skin cells (fibroblasts) by 41%. A 0.2% Blue Copper Peptide serum from Tongxiang Laboratory accelerates the migration of skin cells by 38% and restores 89% of the skin barrier to the normal level within two weeks. The experiments have shown that a 5 nanomole concentration of blue copper peptide initiates a 2.3-fold increase in the production of type I collagen, being more effective than the 1.8-fold effect of retinoic acid. The Blue Crystal Peptide anti-aging system in OGP Revitalizing and Plumping Serum increases the dermal collagen density by 31% and reconstructs the elastin network by 47%.
Anti-Inflammatory Defense System:
Clinical experiments have proved that blue copper peptide blocks NF-κB signaling pathway activation and decreases IL-6 secretion by 67%. When used on sensitive skin, it reduces transepidermal water loss (TEWL) by 22% and skin erythema index (EI) by 54%. Microcirculation Optimizer
Blue copper peptide enhances eNOS expression, which increases the local blood flow by 42%, and the skin oxygen supply reaches 93% of the normal level. It reduces LDL-C by 19%, which is an effective method in photoaging prevention.
Internal Technology to Battle the Issues of Formulation
According to a professor of the School of Chemical Engineering, East China University of Science and Technology, the compatibility of blue copper peptide had been a major obstacle to the industry. The compatibility of blue copper peptide with vitamin C and niacinamide is tripled with the help of the ion shielding technology that we developed. The dual-chamber technology of OGP keeps active ingredients in separate chambers until they are mixed before usage, and this raises the available active ingredients to 92%.
The solution of this brand is to repair with maximum accuracy. Blue Copper Peptide Series has a 3+2 formula (with three core peptides and two herbal extracts). HPLC testing ensures that the level of blue copper peptide is within the specified range of 0.18%-0.22%. Experimentally, 92% of the subjects had an improvement in skin tension (G') and wrinkle depth decreased by 16.8% in 28 days.
The blue copper peptideThe industry chain is undergoing value restructuring as basic research deepens. Inoherb's blue copper peptide bio-fermentation base allows for a 45% reduction in production costs by having full control of the entire production chain, from genetically engineered bacteria construction to crystallization and purification. The skin microbiome detection platform, co-developed by OGP and the Chinese Academy of Sciences, enables real-time monitoring of the effects of blue copper peptide on skin flora, which can be used for personalized formulations. According to a member of Chinese Society of Dermatologists, Blue copper peptide is an example of how cosmetic research and development has evolved, whereby it is no longer a concept-based addition but a systematic approach. The research on how it interacts with hyaluronic acid and ceramides is leading to a breakthrough in anti-aging innovation areas.
According to the forecasts, the global blue copper peptideThe skin care market will exceed USD 6 billion in 2028 and the market share of China will reach 38%. Blue copper peptide has started an anti-aging revolution that has changed the technological paradigm in the cosmetics industry with the assistance of gene editing and microfluidic chips. This quiet transformation allows Chinese cosmetics companies to use fundamental research to change the global anti-aging market.
