Copper Peptides Work as a Natural Skin Care Compound by Thickening Skin and Improving Elasticity and Fibroblast Production.

Copper Peptides in the Restorative Secretion of Snails Help to Reinforce Skin Healing and Minimize Post Burn Scars.

Improperly repaired injuries feature improper or abnormal accumulation of collagen and defective skin cell layering.

A class of compounds called “copper peptides” has been researched in the laboratory for their ability to reorganize the process of wound healing by diminishing scar development and increasing skin remodeling and they are present naturally in the complex natural ingredient that is essential in our products.

For years, the only source of this compound has been those synthezised in a laboratory from soy proteins after the innovative investigation of Dr. Loren Pickart. Dr. Pickart is a scientist who postulated this revolutionary theory that copper peptides have skin remodeling properties, stimulate and are integral to the cycle of skin renewal (www.skinbiology.com). We could now state that their participation in the secretions that snails use to repair their skin, which is very similar in its cells and structures to human skin, validates the important biological functions Dr. Pickart attributed to them.

What exactly are copper peptides and how can they modify the natural response to injuries? Generally speaking, peptides are tiny fragments of proteins. (And the proteins are one of the key construction blocks of most living tissues, the other are complex carbohydrates or sugar chains and DNA.) Some kinds of peptides have an impressive affinity for copper, to which they bind very tightly. The resulting compound made of a peptide and a copper atom has become known as a copper peptide.

The secretions gathered from snails provide the only natural source of these molecules as they are made of glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) that tightly bind divalent copper cations Cu +2 and peptides: copper peptides.

Dr Pickart discovered copper peptides while doing investigations that intended to reverse certain effects of aging in animals. Since then, GHK-Cu and some other copper-peptides, have been found to accelerate the regeneration and repair process of many types of mammalian tissues.

Studies, at several universities and research institutes, have found that copper-peptides:

- Accelerate wound repair (humans, mice, rats, guinea pigs, pigs, dogs)

- Enhance skin re-epithelialization (humans, animals)

- Improve skin graft transplant success (pigs)

- Improve hair transplant success (humans)

- GHK analogs with fatty residue analogs enlarge hair follicle size, stimulate hair growth and reduce hair loss (humans, mice, rats). Increases hair growth after chemotherapy (rats)

- Counter aging effects on skin (humans)

- Thickens skin, reduces small and large wrinkles, reduces blotchiness and blemishes, boosts elasticity, and increases keratinocyte and fibroblast generation, reinforces the subcutaneous fat layer

- Stimulate bone healing (guinea pigs, pigs, rabbits)

- Cure stomach ulcers (rats)

- Cure injured intestinal linings (humans, rats)

- Block oxidative damage in tissues.

- Return normal function in livers affected by toxins (rats)

- Various anti-inflammatory actions (reduces release of oxidizing iron, TNF-alpha, TGF-beta-1, IL-1)

Many substances can have a positive effect on wound healing. A distinctive feature of copper peptides is that they reduce scar tissue generation while stimulating normal skin remodeling. In other words, they help return the damaged area to its original looks.

The mechanism of copper peptide action is relatively complex. Copper bound to aminoacids induces the disintegration of "extra-large" collagen aggregates found in scars and promotes the creation of smaller more regular collagen found in normal skin. It also promotes the synthesis of elastin, proteoglycans, glycosaminoglycans, and other components of the skin matrix. Other crucial effects of Copper Peptides involve the ability to regulate the growth rate and distribution of different types of cells; important anti-inflammatory action; and the ability to avoid the release of oxidation-promoting iron into the tissues. The final result is a faster, better and "cleaner" healing of wounds.

Can copper peptides be useful for regular skin protection and renewal?

While the biosynthesis and breakdown of collagen, elastin, and water-holding GAGs exists in a continuous balance in young healthy skin, after age 25 the skin's synthesis of collagen, elastin, and the water-holding GAGs is slowed down while the frequency of breakdown of these factors is raised and starts wrinkle development and loss of elasticity. The problem becomes more and more accentuated with passing years. The good news is there are now natural snail glycoconjugates that contain copper peptides as part of complex natural activators of skin repair and remodeling that can counteract this process.

The available evidence indicated the following potential skin benefits of copper peptides:

Many existing skin care solutions are based on the concept of removing the outermost or even deeper layers of skin. The consequent healing process activates skin remodeling, leading to softer, younger looking skin. Since copper peptides improve healing and improve skin remodeling, they can raise the effect of treatments based on various types of controlled skin damage. In particular, copper peptides can be useful after various types of laser resurfacing, dermabrasion, and chemical peels.

Copper peptides are useful against various types of skin irritation, mainly thanks to their anti-inflammatory properties. Skin irritation, even in the absence of open injuries, greatly accelerates skin aging by stimulating the production of free radicals and other toxic byproducts. Some typical skin rejuvenation solutions, like tretinoin (Retin A, Renova) and alpha hydroxy acids can cause irritation. If during treatment you suffer skin irritation for an extended period of time, your skin will likely end up in worse condition than when you started. In many cases, copper peptides can reduce or avoid the irritation and help improve treatment benefits.

It is always wiser to avoid the damage than to fix it later. To a significant percentage, skin aging is caused by the accumulation of small day-to-day damage from sun, detergents, wind, acne, abrasions and so forth. As these minute lesions heal, they form microscopic imperfections, which eventually accumulate to grow into visible signs of aging. Glycoconjugates containing copper peptides can help diminish the damage from daily wear and tear of the skin. For instance, one investigation found that copper peptides helped heal skin integrity after exposure to SLS, a current detergent found in many shampoos, cleansers, and dishwashing/laundry products.

Can copper peptides reverse wrinkles and other signs of aging in flawless skin?

Yes, because copper peptides stimulate the reduction of unusually large cross-linked collagen (the one found in scars and, to a lesser degree, in wrinkles). They also stimulate the synthesis of "regular" collagen found in normal skin. In one small investigation, copper peptides stimulated collagen production in flawless skin. In fact, in that investigation, copper peptides produced a stronger stimulation of collagen synthesis than tretinoin (Retin A, Renova) or ascorbate (vitamin C). While clinical investigations have shown the helpful effects on photo-aged skin from the daily application for 4 to 8 weeks of cosmetic preparations with the snail secretions, which contain copper peptides and complex glycoconjugates.

While moderate use of synthetic copper peptides stimulates collagen synthesis and has antioxidant effect (by stimulating the antioxidant enzyme superoxide dismutase), excessive use of synthetic copper peptides extracted from soy proteins can have an opposite effect by increasing the levels of free copper. Free copper promotes free radical damage and collagen breakdown, inducing accelerated skin aging. These troubles do not seem to occur among the majority of copper peptide users. However, there are anecdotal reports indicating that such side-effects might appear with overuse or, rarely, even normal use in sensitive people. This does not happen at all with even prolonged use of snail glycoconjugates.

Thus, copper peptides found inside the complex glycoconjugates secreted by land snails are a healthy and effective skin treatment. Their potential to improve the healing of various types of skin lesions is well established. And the snail secretions slow down the development of the signs of skin aging by restricting the effects of daily wear and tear. Also, the snail secretions have an effect on skin renewal due to the presence in them of enzymes that degrade denatured proteins into their amino-acid components and start an harmonic reconstructing and remodeling of the skin tissues.

What makes the copper peptides in BIOSKINCARE efficient and reliable?

A natural cosmetic solution, not a drug or pharmaceutical product.

BIOSKINCARE™ is fabricated with the natural secretions from a land snail (Helix Aspersa Muller), the same they produce to quickly repair their own skin and shell when damaged. It is a viscose liquid that is converted into an odorless white cream.

Study of the mucin has determined that it contains activators of skin growth factors, natural anti-inflammatory and immune modulating proteins, glycosaminoglycans that tightly bind divalent copper cations Cu +2, antimicrobial peptides, glycoproteins, and sulfated glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) as protein-free polysaccharide.

Unlike harsh chemicals and physical processing typically used to create protein supplements, which unfortunately denatures (destroys) the natural structure of proteins yielding something that is not fully absorbed and utilized by the human body, the proteic secretions of the snail are taken as they are naturally to make them into our cream, without any process that may denature them and on the contrary their bio-availabity for living cells is completely preserved.

Double blind studies comparing placebo to the active ingredient on one side of the face compared to the other using impartial procedures to appraise wrinkle depth have demonstrated improvement in this parameter as well as skin smoothness, suppleness, and reduction of hiperpigmentation in more than 80% of subjects investigated. Most people have seen improvements in as little as two weeks when they have applied BIOSKINCARE™ cream twice a day every day.

Topical application of BIOSKINCARE™ is also a strong message that signals to your system that it is being taking care of in an according and proper way, with all the components that help it quicken the natural skin renewal process.

Application of the cream night and day for a period of 2 months ensures: Decrease in wrinkles depth; Increase in collagen and elastin from within the submerged layers of the skin, giving skin firmness; Improvement of the water holding capacity of healthy skin, decreasing sagging and fragility; Decrease of age spots,melasma,dark pigmentation,hyperpigmentation; Relief of atopic dermatitis; Restoration of the normal skin color of those suffering from hiperpigmentation in people of all skin colors, including African, Asian & Latin.
