Copper Peptides in short
A peptide bound to copper that supports wound-healing, firmness and barrier repair. Copper is reactive, so it does not play well with strong acids or pure vitamin C.
Ferulic Acid in short
A plant antioxidant best known for stabilising vitamins C and E. Together the trio roughly doubles photoprotection compared with vitamin C alone.
