What Is Chlorophyllin-Copper Complex?
Chlorophyllin-Copper Complex is a derivative of the green pigment chlorophyll that can be used in cosmetic products to minimize unpleasant odors and protects against the formation of such odors on the skin. Examples of products containing Chlorophyllin-Copper Complex include facial masks, cleansers, soaps, serums, toners, and hair conditioners.\n\nChlorophyllin-Copper Complex also provides antioxidant compounds that can be beneficial to skin.\n\nAlthough chlorophyll is typically green, this complex’s natural hue ranges from green to black, which means it may also impart color to the formula. The regulated use of Chlorophyllin-Copper Complex as a cosmetic colorant varies from country to country.\n\nUsage levels range from 0.001%–10%.
