Leverium VERIFY is the quality and traceability system for Leverium products.

VERIFY connects three levels of information: the product, its Edition and its individual Batch. For example, Leverium Cu3 Edition 01 Batch 001 identifies a specific production run of a defined Cu3 formulation.

VERIFY brings together formulation specifications, manufacturing documentation and available laboratory results so that the evidence behind a Leverium product can be examined in context.

An Edition identifies a defined formulation version of Leverium Cu3. A Batch identifies one specific production run made within that Edition.

Leverium Cu3 Edition 01 is formulated with 3 percent GHK Cu, also known as Copper Tripeptide 1. Batch 001 identifies one particular production run of Edition 01.

If the defined formulation changes materially, Leverium can introduce a new Edition. Individual production runs within the same Edition receive their own Batch identifiers.

Each production run of Leverium Cu3 has a Batch identifier that connects it to its corresponding Batch Passport in VERIFY.

The Batch Passport identifies the product, Edition and Batch. It also provides the verification information available for that specific production run, including its laboratory results where applicable.

This allows a customer to move from Leverium Cu3 to its formulation Edition and then to the evidence associated with the individual Batch.

Each Leverium Cu3 production batch is independently tested for the analytical parameters defined in the current batch verification program.

For Leverium Cu3 Edition 01, the current batch testing includes pH and total copper content in the finished serum.

These batch measurements are distinct from other forms of quality evidence such as raw material documentation, manufacturing documentation and microbiological testing.

The current independent batch analysis for Leverium Cu3 Edition 01 measures pH and total copper content in the finished serum.

The pH measurement checks whether an important property of the finished formulation is within its defined specification.

The total copper measurement provides an independent analytical consistency check because GHK Cu is a copper containing peptide complex.

The copper measurement does not directly measure the concentration of intact GHK Cu.

Leverium measures total copper because GHK Cu contains copper as part of the peptide copper complex.

Leverium Cu3 Edition 01 is formulated with 3 percent GHK Cu. Measuring total copper in the finished serum therefore provides an independent analytical signal that can be compared with the formulation and raw material information.

The result is useful as a batch consistency check. It is not equivalent to directly measuring intact GHK Cu.

For the idealized GHK Cu complex, copper represents approximately 15.8 percent of its molecular mass. A formulation containing 3 percent of the pure idealized complex would therefore correspond theoretically to approximately 0.47 percent copper.

This theoretical value is not treated as a universal finished product target because the actual copper contribution also depends on the specified composition of the GHK Cu raw material used in the formulation.

No. The current copper test does not directly quantify or independently confirm 3 percent intact GHK Cu in Leverium Cu3.

The 3 percent value is a formulation specification for Leverium Cu3 Edition 01. It describes the amount of the specified GHK Cu raw material used to formulate the product.

The independent laboratory analysis measures total copper in the finished serum. Because GHK Cu contains copper, this provides a meaningful analytical consistency check against the formulation and raw material information.

However, total copper analysis cannot determine the exact concentration of intact GHK Cu by itself. It also cannot establish solely from the copper result whether every measured copper atom is still present as the intended GHK Cu complex.

VERIFY therefore makes a deliberate distinction between two statements.

Leverium Cu3 Edition 01 is formulated with 3 percent GHK Cu.

The current independent batch analysis measures total copper, not intact GHK Cu.

The second statement provides additional independent evidence about the batch, but it should not be interpreted as a direct quantitative assay of the first statement.

Direct quantitative measurement of intact GHK Cu is not currently part of the routine Leverium Cu3 batch analysis because Leverium has not yet established a method for the finished formulation that it considers sufficiently robust and reliable for routine verification.

Analyzing total elemental copper is different from selectively identifying and quantifying a specific peptide copper complex within a complete cosmetic formulation.

A useful direct method would need to distinguish the relevant GHK Cu complex from the surrounding formulation matrix and quantify it with sufficient accuracy, specificity and reproducibility.

Leverium is actively working toward more specific analytical verification. The objective is to add direct GHK Cu testing if a sufficiently robust and interpretable method can be established for the finished Cu3 formulation.

Until then, Leverium reports the measurement that can currently be performed and interpreted reliably: total copper content.

VERIFY does not present that measurement as something it is not.

Leverium VERIFY combines several different types of quality evidence because no single document or laboratory measurement describes every aspect of a cosmetic product.

For Leverium Cu3, the available evidence includes formulation specifications, raw material documentation, manufacturing documentation, microbiological and preservative system testing and independent batch analysis.

Leverium Cu3 is manufactured in Germany. Manufacturing documentation relates to cosmetic Good Manufacturing Practice and ISO 22716. Additional documentation includes the Certificate of Analysis for the Copper Tripeptide 1 raw material and ISO 11930 preservative challenge testing.

The batch level evidence is kept conceptually separate. For Cu3 Edition 01, this currently includes independent pH and total copper measurements for the individual production batch.

VERIFY is designed to make these different evidence levels visible rather than combining them into one general quality claim.
