Blue copper peptide freeze-drying refers to the use of freeze-drying technology (freeze-drying) to separately seal high-purity blue copper peptide powder (usually mixed with freeze-drying protectants). The product usually appears in the form of freeze-dried powder or freeze-dried flocs, and is packaged separately from a bottle of solvent (usually essence or water). Before use, it is necessary to mix the two to activate the complete blue copper peptide essence.

01The efficacy and principle of action of blue copper peptide

Blue copper peptide is a short peptide composed of three amino acids, glycine histidine lysine, which naturally binds to a copper ion (Cu ² ⁺) to form a complex.

Source:Initially found in human plasma, its levels decrease with age in the body.
ColorDue to its combination with copper ions, it presents a unique and beautiful blue color, which is also the origin of its name.

Blue copper peptide is a "signal peptide" whose main function is to send "repair and growth" instructions to skin cells, rather than directly acting on the cells.

Powerful repair and wound healing:

Core function: It can stimulate the synthesis of collagen (type I, IV, VII), elastin, and glycosaminoglycans (such as hyaluronic acid), strengthen the dermis and basement membrane.

Application: Very suitable for postoperative repair, soothing sensitivity, improving redness, and repairing skin barriers.

anti-aging:

By promoting the regeneration of the matrix that supports the skin, it fundamentally improves problems such as wrinkles, sagging, and enlarged pores, enhancing skin firmness and elasticity.

Powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties:

Copper ions are cofactors for various antioxidant enzymes, such as SOD and superoxide dismutase, and can effectively scavenge free radicals.

It can inhibit various inflammatory factors, reduce skin inflammation, and have a soothing effect on acne prone skin and rosacea.

Promote hair growth:

In hair products, it can stimulate hair follicles, promote hair growth, and improve hair density.

02Advantages of Blue Copper Peptide Freeze Drying

Blue copper peptide is both "precious" and "delicate". "Precious" is due to its limited purification process, with a price as high as gold and a cost of tens of thousands to tens of thousands per kilogram, which makes many brands hesitant. Its "delicacy" is due to the instability of copper ions, which has many taboos in application. Other active ingredients (such as acid, A acid, VC, etc.) may cause the inactivation of blue copper peptides. To develop skincare products containing blue copper peptides, it is necessary to make a trade-off between either simplifying the ingredients or adopting better technology and processes to minimize the impact of other functional ingredients on its effectiveness. At the same time, as a hydrophilic active ingredient, blue copper peptide is difficult to penetrate and act on the deep layers of the skin. It is necessary to ensure permeability and stability in order to exert its true efficacy.

The core purpose is“To a large extentMaintain the activity and purity of the ingredients.

1. Freshness preservation and higher activity:

Solution to pain points: the activity of liquid blue copper peptide essence in aqueous solution will slowly decline with time even if stabilizer is added. Light, high temperature, and moisture in the formula may all affect it.
Advantages of freeze-drying:Dehydration in ultra-low temperature vacuum environment, blue copper peptide exists stably in solid state, almost without degradation, and its activity can be maintained for up to 2-3 years. Ready to use, active in mixing.

2. Minimalist formula to avoid conflicts:
Solution to pain points: traditional essence needs to add various ingredients for skin feeling and antisepsis, which may conflict with blue copper peptide or reduce its purity.
Advantages of freeze-drying:Freeze dried powder usually only contains blue copper peptide and protective agent, and the solvent formula is also minimalist. Effectively avoiding reactions with other ingredients during the shelf life, ensuring "high purity" and "effectiveness".

3. No preservatives or low preservatives:
Microorganisms cannot grow in a solid-state environment, and freeze-dried powder itself does not require the addition of preservatives. After mixing, it is usually recommended to use it up in the short term, so the entire system is milder and more friendly to extremely sensitive muscles.

4. Ritual sense and precise dosage:
The process of self mixing has a sense of ceremony, and every time it is used, it isfreshconcentrationPrecise essence.

Blue copper peptide is a mild anti-aging ingredient that focuses on "biological repair".
It is not as "radical" as A alcohol, nor as "tough" as VC, but gently guides the skin's self repair and regeneration in a "signal commander" manner. It is a very ideal choice for those who are in need of mild and effective anti-aging repair, especially for sensitive muscles.

03Furuijie Freeze Drying Laboratory

Experimental sample: Blue copper peptide solution

Experimental objective: Freeze dry all the water to form a cake shape

Experimental equipment: Mercury series

Experimental process:

1. Prepare the blue copper peptide solution.

2. Fill the prepared liquid into multiple penicillin bottles.

3. Place the penicillin bottle in the freeze dryer for sublimation drying. The freeze-drying procedure is: sublimation procedure -40 ℃~25 ℃, vacuum degree 2Pa, time 36h.

After the program is completed, release the pressure and take out the freeze-dried sample for packaging or subsequent experiments.

Before pre freezing:

After freeze-drying:

After freeze-drying, it appears as a cake and achieves the desired performance.
