Description
Arginine is a semi-essential amino acid, a core building block of hair keratin and skin collagen. It acts as a natural moisturizing factor, hydrating the skin and potentially helping to accelerate wound healing. Arginine typically carries a positive charge, making it compatible with skin and hair while forming an effective film. This allows it to bind with AHAs, resulting in a gradual release of AHAs and a reduction in associated irritation. It is well-suited for supporting skin and hair health.
