COPPER ASPARTATE.

Insufficient Data CAS 57609-01-5 / 65732-10-7 / HAIR CONDITIONING, SKIN CONDITIONING, SKIN PROTECTING

Copper Aspartate is a functional ingredient combining copper with aspartic acid, designed to act as a skin conditioning and protecting agent. It supports the skin's inherent mechanisms against environmental stressors.

Summary

Skin conditioning Skin protecting Antioxidant Anti-inflammatory Antimicrobial Collagen synthesis support Elastin synthesis support

Science

Mechanism of Action

As a bioavailable source of copper, this compound is crucial for enzymatic processes involved in the synthesis and stabilization of vital extracellular matrix proteins such as collagen and elastin, thereby contributing to skin structure and elasticity. Copper Aspartate also provides antioxidant benefits by neutralizing free radicals, and exhibits both anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties, promoting overall dermal resilience and health.

Stability

Optimal crystal formation of copper(II)aspartate tetrahydrate occurs at approximately pH 4, suggesting this pH point is ideal for maintaining the ingredient's stability and integrity within formulations.

Conflicts

  • Potential incompatibility between L- and D-aspartate forms in certain applications like nanofiber formation.
  • Rapid gelation can occur when equal concentrations of Cu2+ solution are mixed with deprotonated L- or D-aspartate.
  • General concerns regarding copper-amino acid incompatibilities in solution, observed in various applications including parenteral nutrition, warrant careful formulation consideration.

Safety

Safety Profile

CIR Status
Not reviewed
Sensitization risk Low

No specific Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) or Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety (SCCS) assessment has been conducted for Copper Aspartate. However, related copper compounds like Copper Gluconate are considered safe for cosmetic use at specified concentrations. Acute dermal toxicity data for copper laevo-aspartate indicates a low hazard profile, with an LD50 > 20 mg/kg (subcutaneous-mouse) and no reported GHS hazard statements. The FDA status for cosmetic use remains undefined.

Our Assessment

Verdict

Insufficient Data

While Copper Aspartate holds promise for skin health due to copper's established role in collagen/elastin synthesis and its antioxidant properties, there is currently insufficient specific clinical data and formal safety review for this compound to conclusively determine its efficacy and safety profile in cosmetic applications.
