Histidine

Description

Histidine is one of the 20 amino acids that make up proteins in our body. Histidine is an essential amino acid. Amino acids are naturally present in the skin as part of what's called our natural moisturizing factors. Amino acids help maintain the smoothness and hydration of the skin when applied through skincare products. Locally applied amino acids help strengthen the skin's natural protective barrier, reducing the likelihood of signs of aging due to environmental stressors. Histidine has antioxidant properties and can soothe the skin. Amino acids are truly universal ingredients that complement other beneficial ingredients for skincare, from antioxidants to plant extracts and omega fatty acids. Undoubtedly, amino acids improve all skin types and can benefit all age groups, especially if your goal is to prevent or reduce signs of aging. Cosmetic studies have also shown that histidine is effective in restoring hair after dyeing. Histidine gently restores the hair and softens it, making it easier to comb.
