Amino acids

There are around 20 different amino acids, which are important for the skin. They have specific functions including hydrating the skin and the formation of proteins, elastic fibres, collagen and keratin. In this way they help the skin to stay supple and healthy.

Amino acids can function as conductors of other substances. They also neutralise free radicals which cause skin ageing.
