The Science of Loren Pickart PhD - Skin Biology Research and Discoveries

Website Page Under Re-Construction

The FDA is requiring Skin Biology to separate the science information from the website that sells our products.

Below are 30 pages on the science of regenerative copper peptides. We expect to add many more over the next few weeks.

By Loren Pickart, PhD

The purpose of this website is to supply you with the actual published science about skin, beauty, and health. Too much of skin and hair care is based on hype, wild claims, and aggressive promotion. The cosmetic industry, and some of the medical practices, try social pressure, embarrassment, and comparisons to force women and men to give up their own decernment and buy often-worthless products and medical skin procedures.

My emphasis is to design skin and hair products compatible with the renewal systems in the human body. My background includes a BA in Chemistry and Mathematics from the University of Minnesota and a PhD in Biochemistry from the University of California, San Francisco. My entire career focused on the question of why blood from young persons (20-25) supported cells and tissues better than blood from older persons (60-80). During this work, I isolated the copper binding tripeptide GHK (Gly-His-Lys) which appeared to be the major reason for the superiority of young blood. I have worked at the University of Minnesota; the Sansum Foundation in Santa Barbara; the University of California, San Francisco, and the Benaroya Institute in Seattle.

In 1985, I started Procyte Corporation to develop products based on my research and these products are still sold. Skin Biology is my second company and has continued the research and product development. Work by myself and about 80 other laboratories has found GHK and other types of copper-peptides to possess a plethora of healthful cellular and tissue actions. GHK has now been tested on all all 22,277 human genes and the staff at Skin Biology is currently analysing the gene data for potential therapeutic uses.

I am a member of the Wound Healing Society, the American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine, the American Chemical Society, and the American Association for the Advancement of Science. Recent presentations include the Wound Healing Society (2008, 2009, 2011) and publications Biomaterials (2008), the American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine Therapeutics Book (2009), the SOFW Journal 2010, Peelings (in Russian) (2010), Kosmetik International (in Russian) (2010); the Reverse Skin Aging (book) 2nd Edition 2011, the Journal of Aging Research & Clinical Practice (2012), Oxidative Medicine and Cellular Longevity (2012).
