Plant sourced Human Tripeptide-1 is one of the most advanced and innovative ingredients you will find in Emma Lewisham products. What makes it really special is that it is found naturally in the human body. 

Also known by the acronym “GHK” for the amino acids it contains (glycine, histidine and lysine), Human Tripeptide-1 was discovered in 1973 when it was found in human plasma. It was researched for its ability to trigger old liver tissue to synthesise proteins in the same way that younger tissue does. 

Since this discovery, Human Tripeptide-1 has been extensively researched and found to have important effects in remodelling, repairing and maintaining multiple tissue types around the body, including the skin. It can be thought of as a conductor of tissue repair and maintenance. This incredible research history, particularly the studies of therapeutic nature, make this one of the most extensively researched cosmetic peptides.
