Are Copper Peptides Worth The Hype?

#ICYMI, copper is making waves in the skincare department off late. We may be hearing of it in this sphere only recently, but it’s been used touted as a healing hero in Ayurveda for centuries. If you’re vaguely familiar with Ayurvedic practices, you’ll know that copper plays an important part in day-today rituals – we’re urged to eat and drink out of copper vessels because it has been proven to charge the food and water with positive ions, infusing the contents with numerous healing benefits like calming inflammation, boosting hemoglobin and collagen and repairing the body from the inside out. Of course, the beauty industry has been quick to pick up on this and bottle up the benefits for your skin too, so let’s deep-dive into what you can expect when you add these to your beauty routines.

WHAT ARE COPPER PEPTIDES

Aside from injectables and Botox, peptides are perhaps the fastest, most effective and safe way to get younger-looking skin. We’ll skip the jargon and speak in layman’s terms – they’re tiny blocks of amino acids, that form the building blocks of healthy skin. Copper is also an essential mineral that’s already present in our bodies, responsible for maintaining tissue health and collagen production. When these two come together to form the copper peptide complex, they’re capable of signaling your body to produce more collagen and elastin – the most potent anti-ageing agents – naturally.
