Formulation Deep Dive
The Copper Tripeptide & Ectoin Advanced Repair Serum by Allies of Skin is engineered as a lightweight, water-based repair serum that disperses a small emollient phase within a predominantly aqueous, humectant-rich carrier. Hydration is led by Glycerin and Panthenol, while Dimethyl Isosorbide and Propanediol act as solubilizing co-solvents that carry the polar actives. Hero performance is anchored by two copper systems—Copper Tripeptide-1 (the GHK-Cu signal peptide) and Copper Lysinate/Prolinate—positioned alongside Ectoin, an extremolyte osmolyte valued for its cell-protective, water-binding role. These sit within a layered antioxidant network of Oxidized Glutathione, Ergothioneine, Tropolone, and Tocopherol, supported by Carnitine, Acetyl Hexapeptide-8, Methylglucoside Phosphate, and skin-identical Saccharide Isomerate. Emollient slip is provided by Coco-Caprylate/Caprate and Isononyl Isononanoate, dispersed via Polyglyceryl-10 Oleate and polysorbate solubilizers. The texture is structured with Hydroxyethylcellulose, Sclerotium Gum, and a Hydroxyethyl Acrylate/Sodium Acryloyldimethyl Taurate Copolymer network, while a phosphate–citrate buffer with Sodium Hydroxide manages pH—a meaningful consideration given copper's formulation sensitivity. Preservation follows a clean-label strategy using Phenoxyethanol, Caprylyl Glycol, 1,2-Hexanediol, and Ethylhexylglycerin.
