COPPER: A MIRACLE MINERAL FOR SKIN
When you hear the word “copper” chances are your mind goes to pennies, therapeutic bracelets or the metallic color, not anti-aging skincare products. But this power-packed ingredient has taken the beauty world by storm. Copper is actually an essential mineral believed to play a crucial role in the function of healthy skin. The presence of copper in the body is linked to the synthesis of collagen and elastin plus clinical research shows copper can be very effective for wound healing.

- It helps prevent free radical damage.
- It’s regenerative, especially in wound healing and skin lesions.
- It’s anti-inflammatory to help relieve skin irritation.
- It’s known to reduce and help smooth scars.
