Amino Acids
Free-form amino acids, NMF components and humectant actives.
Overview
Amino acids are the largest single component of skin's natural moisturising factor, which makes them the most biomimetic hydration route available. They are also mild surfactant precursors, so the same shelf serves both hydration actives and gentle cleansing systems.
Where it is used
- Hydrating serums, essences and toners
- Sulphate-free cleansers and shampoos
- Sensitive-skin and barrier-repair products
- Anti-ageing and energising formulations
