1973. A molecule in the blood.
Researcher Dr. Loren Pickart traced part of the difference between young and old tissue to a small tripeptide circulating in human plasma: glycyl-L-histidyl-L-lysine. GHK. Its rare talent is binding copper, forming the blue complex known as GHK-Cu — the blue copper peptide.
In the decades since, it has become one of the most-studied peptides in cosmetic science — investigated across skin conditioning, the appearance of photoaged skin, and scalp applications. It is the signature molecule of the Movero house, and the blue heart of our flagship serum.
The blue is the molecule — no dyes, ever.
A naturally occurring tripeptide — glycine, histidine, lysine — complexed with a copper ion. In cosmetic formulation it is prized for its distinctive blue colour and extensive research history in skin-conditioning applications.
Copper is an essential trace element found throughout the skin. GHK's affinity for copper delivers it in a chelated, skin-friendly form — and gives the Movero flagship its signature blue. The formula itself is the molecule.
Reported plasma levels of GHK decline substantially between age 20 and 60. That decline is the clearest expression of the Movero thesis: longevity means supporting what time takes away — in appearance, ritual, and care.
Movero formulates cosmetics. Our products support the look of firmer, smoother, more luminous skin and healthier-looking hair. We do not make drug claims, we do not overstate studies, and where evidence is early we say so. Credibility is the brand.
