Information

Glutamic acid is a non-essential amino acid that plays a crucial role in various biological processes, including protein synthesis. In the context of skincare, it is known for its hydrating and conditioning properties. Glutamic acid is part of the natural moisturizing factors in the skin, which can maintain hydration and protect the skin barrier.

Where does it come from?

Glutamic acid is naturally present in the body and can also be found in many foods, particularly in protein-rich sources such as meat, fish, dairy, and certain vegetables like tomatoes and mushrooms. It is often obtained through the fermentation of plants or other organic materials, making it a sustainable and eco-friendly ingredient.

PROTECTING pH LEVEL HYDRATING

What are the benefits?

  • Hydration: As a component of the skin’s natural moisturizing factors, glutamic acid can attract and hold water in the skin, ensuring it stays hydrated and plump.
  • pH Level: Glutamic acid plays a role in maintaining the skin's natural pH level, which is essential for keeping the skin barrier intact and protecting from environmental factors.
  • Skin Barrier Support: By maintaining hydration and pH level, glutamic acid supports the skin’s barrier function, making it more resilient to irritants and minimizing the likelihood of dryness or sensitivity.
  • Antioxidant Properties: Glutamic acid has antioxidant properties that can protect the skin from environmental factors caused by free radicals, which are known to contribute to the signs of maturing skin.
  • Improved Skin Texture: Regular use of products containing glutamic acid can contribute to skin texture, making it smoother and softer by maintaining optimal hydration and supporting the skin’s natural processes.
