Why is amino acid essential?
60-70% of the human body consists of water, and about 20% consists of amino acids.
Amino acids play an important role as the source of moisture.
Approximately half of NMF in corneocytes is formed with amino acids
*PCA: Natural moisturising ingredients produced from amino acids
Keratin fibers that support NMF in corneocytes is also made up of amino acids
These keratin fibers are also made up of amino acids.
Collagen is also made up of amino acids
Amino acid molecules are pico-sized at approximately 1/3000 the size of a common collagen molecule.
