Arginine is a naturally occurring essential amino acid in the body and a primary building block of hair keratin and skin collagen.
Benefits of Arginin in skincare
Arginine is a natural moisturizing factor, providing skin hydration and supporting the synthesis of growth hormones. It promotes wound healing, supports hair growth, and has antioxidant properties. In skincare products, arginine is safe, non-toxic, and non-comedogenic, meaning it does not clog pores. Arginine can be derived from both plant and animal sources, making it suitable for vegan consumers as well.
