What is it?
Aspartic acid is a non-essential amino acid that the body can synthesize on its own. In skincare and cosmetics, it serves multiple purposes, primarily known for its role in building collagen and elastin, hydrating the skin, and acting as a buffering agent to maintain the product's pH balance.
Where does it come from?
Aspartic acid is found in various plants, particularly in sugar cane and sugar beets as well as seed sprouts, legumes, peanuts, almonds, walnuts, and flaxseeds.
