99.9% AHK-Cu Cosmetic Grade Powder

AHK-Cu Cosmetic Powder
CAS No.: 682809-81-0
 
Description
AHK-Cu Cosmetic Powder is a cosmetic-grade copper peptide ingredient used in advanced haircare formulations such as scalp serums, follicle tonics, and leave-in treatments. AHK-Cu is the copper complex of the peptide Alanine-Histidine-Lysine and is widely referenced in cosmetic and research contexts for hair-focused topical formulations.
 
Designed for formulators and cosmetic makers, AHK-Cu is best suited to water-based scalp serums, light emulsions, and leave-in cosmetic products intended to support the appearance of a healthier scalp environment and fuller-looking hair. The best-known published human hair-follicle paper on AHK-Cu reported stimulatory effects on isolated human hair follicles in vitro.
 
Research Benefits
In cosmetic and research literature, AHK-Cu is commonly associated with:
Supporting the appearance of healthier-looking hair
Helping promote a better cosmetic scalp environment
Use in topical formulas aimed at improving the look of hair density and vitality
Inclusion in premium scalp serums and peptide-based haircare systems
 
One frequently cited 2007 study reported that AHK-Cu promoted growth of human hair follicles and suggested the effect may relate to stimulation of dermal papilla cells. That is a research finding, not a guarantee of cosmetic results in finished consumer products.
 
How to Mix Into Your Own Hair Serums and Lotions
AHK-Cu is generally best incorporated into water-based cosmetic systems rather than neat oils. It is typically added into the water phase or, preferably, the cool-down phase of a formulation to help protect peptide stability.
 
Recommended Use Level
A practical cosmetic-use range for a topical hair serum is:
0.01% to 0.05% for lightweight everyday scalp serums
0.05% to 0.10% for stronger cosmetic formulations
Because supplier specifications and purity can vary, many formulators start low and adjust based on the rest of the formula.
 
Concentration Guide: Grams to mL
Assuming 1 mL ≈ 1 g for water-based serums:
 
Per 100 mL of finished product
0.01% = 0.01 g
0.02% = 0.02 g
0.05% = 0.05 g
0.10% = 0.10 g
 
Per 500 mL of finished product
0.01% = 0.05 g
0.02% = 0.10 g
0.05% = 0.25 g
0.10% = 0.50 g
 
Per 1,000 mL of finished product
0.01% = 0.10 g
0.02% = 0.20 g
0.05% = 0.50 g
0.10% = 1.00 g
 
Simple Mixing Method
Weigh the required amount of AHK-Cu powder using an accurate scale.
Pre-dissolve it in a small amount of distilled water or your serum water phase which can be bought on our site
Stir gently until fully dispersed.

Suggested Starting Point
A good starting concentration for a cosmetic scalp serum is:

0.05 g per 100 mL
0.25 g per 500 mL
0.50 g per 1,000 mL
