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 maintains the skin's hydration and overall vibrance.
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 bacterium or extracted from protein hydrolysates.
Moisturization: Serine serves as a natural moisturizing factor, which can attract and hold water in the skin, thereby maintaining hydration and minimizing irritation.
Skin Barrier Function: It contributes to the integrity of the skin barrier, promoting its ability to protect from environmental factors and hydration.
Rejuvenating: By protecting from hydration and promoting the skin's natural renewal processes, serine can minimize the appearance of maturing skin.
Cellular Function: It contributes to the synthesis of phospholipids and other critical components of cell membranes, promoting overall skin vibrance and resilience.
Soothing Properties: Serine can calm irritated skin, making it beneficial for sensitive skin types.
