Lead time

The monthly inventory volume of GHK Cu is 10 tons, with appropriate adjustments upwards or downwards in response to peak and off-peak seasons.

HiSiaddi safeguards the supply stability of GHK Cu through the following measures:

1. Supply of one mainstream GHK Cu model by 3 premium factories

(1) Performance evaluation and screening of GHK Cu brand factories based on on-time delivery rate, batch pass rate, timeliness of risk alerts, and completeness of documentation to assess their supply stability.

(2) For each mainstream model or major grade of GHK Cu, secure 1 primary high-quality brand manufacturer and 2 backup high-quality manufacturers.

(3) Each factory operates independent production lines in separate production zones to prevent production halts caused by major unforeseen incidents such as environmental production suspensions and power outages.

2. Technological transformation partnerships and long-term sales binding for GHK Cu

Through long-term cooperation with brand manufacturers via technology commercialization and authorized distribution channels, HiSiaddi can effectively strengthen supervision over the production processes of brand manufacturers, optimize full-process traceability management, improve batch stability control, and further reinforce real-time monitoring of the supply stability of GHK Cu products.

Long-term Annual Framework Supply Guarantee Agreement. HiSiaddi signs 12-month long-term agreements with leading manufacturers. The agreements specify the minimum guaranteed supply volume, maximum price hike range, and priority production scheduling rights during peak seasons. It is stipulated that manufacturers shall issue a 30-day prior written notice if production is suspended due to environmental rectification or equipment maintenance, and backup manufacturers will be activated to replenish goods accordingly.

3. 4 warehouses and 10 peak & off-peak demand forecasting

We have 4 warehouses, which are jointly operated and managed with suppliers to store hot-selling products.The four warehouses are located at Qingdao Port in North China, Ningbo Port in East China, Shenzhen Port in South China, and Zhengzhou, China’s inland logistics hub. This setup guarantees sufficient supply and timely shipment of GHK Cu during peak seasons.

HiSiaddi issues a rolling demand forecast covering the subsequent three months on the 25th of each month, allowing manufacturers to reserve production capacity in accordance with the forecast. Any new urgent orders from overseas clients will be prioritized to draw on inventories or production capacity from backup manufacturers.

4. Multi-channel logistics to resolve vessel congestion and inspection delays for GHK Cu sea and land shipments

Unstable logistics for GHK Cu will extend delivery lead times. HiSiaddi has established alternative arrangements covering multiple freight forwarders, ports and transportation solutions:

(1) Binding of multiple professional chemical freight forwarders for GHK Cu

Each product is assigned 2 to 3 freight forwarders with hazardous chemical/food transport qualifications affiliated with different shipping lines. Alternative sailing schedules can be switched to immediately in case of space shortages or customs inspections on a single shipping route.

(2) Backup transportation solutions for GHK Cu

Ocean freight serves as the standard mode; air freight and rail freight are reserved as alternatives for urgent orders. Long-term agreements for temperature-controlled containers are signed for temperature-sensitive and perishable food additives to secure shipping space.

(3) Visual tracking and digital early warning for GHK Cu

Freight forwarders synchronize daily updates on container loading, customs declaration, vessel loading and port arrival milestones. If customs inspection occurs, replenishment from backup inventory will be initiated immediately to shorten client waiting periods.

Full-chain digital early warning automatically monitors four categories of risks:

• Factory side: Expiring supplier environmental assessment certificates, renewal of production permits, scheduled major equipment overhauls, and notifications of price hikes for upstream raw materials;

• Inventory side: Inventory falling below safety thresholds, excessive inventory age, and batches failing quality inspection;

• Logistics side: Shipping line space shortages, strikes at destination ports, and updates to customs policies;

• Overseas side: Revisions to additive regulations and adjustments to import restriction lists in target countries.

Early warning notifications are automatically pushed to procurement and business leads, allowing backup suppliers or inventory contingency plans to be activated in advance.

(I) Regulatory Compliance Verification for Target Markets

Classification: Cosmetic active peptide raw material, metal complex peptide raw material Key control items: HPLC active content, copper complex conversion rate, free copper ions, TFA (trifluoroacetic acid) residue, impurity peptides, heavy metals, solvent residues, microbiological indicators

· European Union: REACH registration + CPNP notification; listed on the EU permitted cosmetic ingredient catalogue with strict limits on excess free copper

· North America: FDA cosmetic ingredient filing + CIR safety assessment recordation

· Japan & South Korea: MHLW cosmetic ingredient filing with mandatory testing for free copper, TFA and impurity peptides

· Southeast Asia / Middle East / South America: General cosmetic raw material standards. For transshipment to EU, US, Japan or South Korea, single-batch COA, full third-party SGS test reports and raw material traceability documents are required. Customs will inspect MSDS and batch quality certificates; shipments with excessive free copper or TFA will be detained and rejected directly.

(II) Downstream Production Process Matching & Selection

Physical properties: Blue-purple lyophilized powder, freely soluble in pure water and polyols, insoluble in oils; aqueous solutions display a characteristic blue-purple hue.

1. GHK Cu main peak content & complexation rate: Excess free copper causes discoloration and skin irritation in finished formulations; complexation rate is the core quality control metric

2. Free copper ions: Free inorganic copper acts as an irritant impurity and is strictly restricted for premium medical beauty and sensitive skin formulations

3. TFA and impurity peptides: Synthetic byproducts that trigger sensitization and formula discoloration at elevated levels

4. Moisture content & powder flowability: High moisture leads to moisture absorption, caking and accelerated copper dissociation with precipitate formation

5. Light & temperature stability: Strong light and strong alkalis break copper complexes to form copper salts, turning formulations green or black. High-stability complex grades are preferred for transparent packaging products

6. Compatibility: Frequently compounded with Acetyl Hexapeptide-8, Tetrapeptide-21, sodium hyaluronate and Ectoin in anti-aging formulations. Avoid long-term coexistence with high-concentration EDTA or strong alkalis; complete hot-cold cycle stability testing on trial samples prior to mass production.

(III) Grade Classification & Selection Criteria

1. Premium Medical Beauty / Import Brand Pure Powder: HPLC ≥98.0%, complexation rate ≥97%, free copper ≤20 ppm, TFA ≤200 ppm; specially formulated for repair serums, acne pit stock solutions and salon eye creams

2. Standard Cosmetic Grade Pure Powder: HPLC ≥95.0%, complexation rate ≥95%, free copper ≤50 ppm; suitable for general anti-aging lotions, creams and scalp serums

3. Ready-to-Use Aqueous Solution: 10% GHK Cu blue-purple aqueous solution with pre-added preservatives for direct factory dosing

(IV) Supplier Production Capacity & Supply Stability Assessment

Core process flow: Fmoc solid-phase synthesis of GHK tripeptide → cleavage & TFA removal → purification & desalination → precise copper salt complexation → filtration to remove free copper → low-temperature lyophilization Key control points: Tripeptide purity, deep TFA removal, precise complexation to control free copper, lyophilization for activity retention Prioritize integrated manufacturers with independent peptide synthesis and complexation refining workshops certified to ISO22716 cosmetic standards. Large-scale manufacturers maintain stable batch-to-batch complexation rate and free copper levels, and support cross-border testing via SGS and Eurofins. Full-container, consolidated container and sample shipments are available with standard lead times of 7–12 days. Small-scale manufacturers utilize rudimentary complexation processes that frequently result in excessive free copper, causing severe formulation discoloration and disqualification for export to premium EU/US skincare markets.
