Pal-GHK is a cosmetic peptide ingredient associated with skin-conditioning and anti-aging formulations. It is commonly discussed in the context of supporting the appearance of firmer, smoother, and more youthful-looking skin. GHK refers to the naturally occurring tripeptide glycyl-L-histidyl-L-lysine, while “Pal-GHK” generally refers to its palmitoylated form, designed to improve its compatibility with lipid-based cosmetic formulations.
