Manganese Tripeptide-1 cosmetic peptide suspension · peptide found in Mn-GHK-class actives carrier peptide · GHK-Cu sister · choose base, strength, and preservation
Manganese Tripeptide-1, a potent peptide found in Mn-GHK-class actives, offers unique cosmetic benefits; Formulate Labs supplies Manganese Tripeptide-1 only, and we do not sell or represent Mn-GHK.
Mn-GHK (manganese-chelated gly-his-lys) · CAS 611182-15-1
Manganese Tripeptide-1 is primarily positioned within leave-on skin care formulations. Competitors and suppliers market this specialty mineral-complex peptide for its unique ability to target hyperpigmentation, setting it apart from actives primarily focused on tissue repair. It offers formulators a distinct option for advanced clinical serums and wellness-adjacent portfolios.
Market context: Manganese Tripeptide-1 is competitively positioned as a specialty mineral-complex alternative to Copper Tripeptide-1, uniquely marketed for targeting hyperpigmentation rather than exclusively focusing on tissue repair. Its marketing collateral targets premium formulation labs developing advanced clinical serums and wellness-adjacent portfolios that prioritize batch transparency and research-backed claims. Formulate Labs supplies the standardized INCI raw material, Manganese Tripeptide-1, and does not distribute competitor-branded trade-name SKUs such as Mn-GHK.
Formulate Labs offers Manganese Tripeptide-1 as a standardized 0.1% active in a glycerin suspension, simplifying integration into diverse cosmetic formulations. This pre-dispersed solution ensures ease of handling and consistent performance for formulators seeking high-quality raw materials.
Hair-care separation: Mn-GHK is not a hair-growth active like GHK-Cu. Its hair-care utility is limited to scalp antioxidant defense and theoretical preventative anti-graying via SOD upregulation — not density, anagen, or regrowth positioning.*
These attributes are assessments based on the ingredient deck and the supplier information available to us. They are not third-party certifications (no Kosher, Halal, Vegan, or similar certifying body has audited or issued a certificate for this material). If your finished product requires a specific certified status, please reach out and we’ll walk through what we can document.
Every lot is produced to order in our AI-powered robotic factory. Nothing sits on a warehouse shelf going stale - you get a date-of-manufacture-fresh batch every time.
Formulate Labs supplies Manganese Tripeptide-1 (INCI) only and does not distribute supplier-branded trade-name SKUs such as Mn-GHK.
Manganese Tripeptide-1 (Mn-GHK) is the manganese-chelated GHK carrier peptide — sister to Copper Tripeptide-1 — studied for Mn-SOD upregulation, UV photodamage reversal, and melanogenesis inhibition (Hussain & Goldberg, 2007; Badilli & Inal, 2025). These are independent, third-party papers we link for formulators evaluating mechanism, tolerability, and published panel data. We did not conduct this research and do not guarantee replication in your finished formula.
12-week open-label study of twice-daily Manganese Tripeptide-1 serum reporting significant improvement in hyperpigmentation and overall photodamage ranking shifting from moderate to mild — well tolerated without significant inflammation.
Comprehensive review noting manganese as an essential trace element for antioxidant protection and documenting Mn-GHK complex utility for hyperpigmentation associated with facial photoaging.
Peer-reviewed summary of cosmeceutical peptides with in-vivo data — includes Manganese Tripeptide-1 (GHK-Mn2+) photodamage and hyperpigmentation endpoints alongside better-known copper peptide literature.
