Our Hand Care Partner

Skin Biology

Created in partnership with Skin Biology, with a connection to the pioneering GHK research of Dr. Loren Pickart, the biochemist who discovered GHK. Our upcoming blue GHK-Cu hand cream brings that story to your daily hand care ritual.

Something Blue Coming Soon

The Story Behind the Blue.

A Little Blue. A Long Research Story.

Our hand cream is being created in partnership with Skin Biology, the company founded by Dr. Loren Pickart, whose discovery of GHK helped shape copper peptide skincare. That connection gives our product story roots in research.

Know Your Copper Peptides.

“Copper peptide” describes more than one ingredient. GHK-Cu combines the peptide GHK with copper. Skin Biology also develops a separate family of copper complexes using peptides derived from hydrolyzed soy protein. Understanding the difference starts with knowing what is in the formula.

Science Deserves a Closer Look.

Skin Biology’s research overview cites human studies and laboratory work exploring copper peptide formulations and skin appearance. Those findings provide useful background, but research on an ingredient or another formulation does not automatically prove the performance of our finished cream.

For Hands On People

The grippers, strummers, and people who chalk up and go deserve more than a good looking jar. NWPR brings together a Skin Biology partnership, accessible education, and a focus on everyday hand care. Our approach is simple: explain the science clearly and keep the promises grounded.
