Northwest Performance & Recovery

Skin Built For Friction.

Copper Science. Active Life.

The Story Behind the Blue.

A Little Blue. A Long Research Story.

Our hand cream is being created in partnership with Skin Biology, the company founded by Dr. Loren Pickart, whose discovery of GHK helped shape copper peptide skincare. That connection gives our product story roots in research.

Made to Share.

I’m a physical therapist and climber with a lasting interest in longevity and skin care. This cream became part of my routine after climbing because I loved how my skin felt. I didn’t set out to create a product; I wanted to share a formula I trusted with a community I care about.

For Hands On People

The grippers, strummers, and people who chalk up and go deserve more than a good looking jar. NWPR brings together a Skin Biology partnership, accessible education, and a focus on everyday hand care. Our approach is simple: explain the science clearly and keep the promises grounded.

Know Where Your Peptides Come From.

Skin Biology’s soy-based copper complexes use peptides from soybeans, not human-derived proteins. The soy protein is broken down into smaller peptides and combined with copper.

Copper peptide

GHK-Cu

Glycine, histidine and lysine form GHK: three amino acids that bind copper. Meet the copper-peptide ingredient at the heart of our blue hand cream.

A little goes a long way.

After cleansing, apply a light amount—just enough to barely cover the area. Massage into the skin for 5–10 seconds.
