Sine cera
Latin for "without wax". The story goes that Roman sculptors who sold honest marble marked it sine cera, meaning no wax was hiding the cracks. That's the idea here: the molecule, the strength and the batch, nothing filled in.
Why this exists
Copper peptides turn up on a lot of ingredient lists. What's usually missing is how much is in there. A product can name GHK-Cu on the back and contain a trace of it.
Sine Cera does one thing differently: the percentage and the milligrams are the biggest thing on the label. If it says 1% and 600 mg, that's what was weighed in.
How it's made
Everything is mixed by hand in small batches in Auckland. The peptide powder is weighed on a lab scale and worked into a plain cosmetic base: a simple cream for the jars and a light water-based gel for the serums. Nothing is added for colour or scent, so the blue you see is the copper peptide.
Each batch gets a number, written on the label, and that number is listed on the batch COA page with the peptide lot behind it.
What you won't find
- A long list of extra actives added so the label looks busy
- Fragrance or colourants
- Packaging that costs more than what's inside it
- Claims that a cosmetic treats or cures anything
