Do copper peptides really work? They are used in skin care to improve certain skin conditions but first lest find out a little bit about this mineral. Copper is a trace mineral found naturally in plants and animals.
Trace means that is needed only in small amounts.
There is around 100 to 150 mg of this mineral in the human body, mainly in the liver, bones and muscles.
Its Deficiency Can Lead To:
Menke's syndrome.
Wilson's disease.
Foods Containing This Trace Mineral
Liver
Potatoes
Cereals
Nuts
Chocolate
Pulses
The daily recommended intake in adults is 1 to 2 mg per day and in children 0'5 to 1 mg per day. This mineral has also antioxidant properties.
These trace minerals are born from the union of fragments of proteins and copper. Since they were discovered many cosmetic companies have used them in their formulations as a main ingredient.
Copper Peptide Skin
Good for the skin because:

As always, is better to do some research before buying any products containing these
skin care ingredients
because quantity and quality varies from one company to another, and the expensive ones are not necessarily the best ones, as my experience tells me.
