Information
Serine is a non-essential amino acid that is a fundamental building block of proteins. It possesses a hydroxyl group in its side chain, making it a polar molecule that is highly reactive and versatile. In skincare, serine is recognized for its role as a natural moisturizing factor, which helps maintain the skin's hydration and overall health.
Where does it come from?
Serine is naturally synthesized in the human body from other amino acids such as glycine and threonine. It is also found in various dietary sources, including soy products, eggs, meat, fish, and dairy. In skincare products, serine is derived through fermentation processes involving bacteria or extracted from protein hydrolysates.
Moisturization: Serine acts as a natural moisturizing factor, helping to attract and retain water in the skin, thereby maintaining hydration and preventing dryness.
Skin Barrier Function: It supports the integrity of the skin barrier, enhancing its ability to protect against environmental stressors and prevent moisture loss.
Anti-Aging: By promoting hydration and supporting the skin's natural repair processes, serine helps to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
Cellular Function: It aids in the synthesis of phospholipids and other critical components of cell membranes, contributing to overall skin health and resilience.
Soothing Properties: Serine can help calm irritated skin, making it beneficial for sensitive skin types.
How is it used in our products?

It is included for its moisturizing, protecting, and anti-aging properties such as reducing wrinkles and improving skin elasticity.
