l-serine (Serine)

Description

Serine is a natural proteinogenic amino acid that comes from silk proteins and plays an important role in the organism, helping to form phospholipids (the main component of the cell membrane) which make up every cell. Serine is used in the cosmetics industry and in personal hygiene products as a skin care, antistatic and hair care agent, as it is able to replenish the level of cysteine in the hair, making it strong and smooth. It is usually believed that amino acids are beneficial for the skin due to their ability to promote collagen production, increase skin elasticity and replenish moisture. Amino acids are building blocks of both peptides and proteins. Amino acids support skin hydration, texture, elasticity and overall elastic, healthy look.
