Description

Tyrosine is an amino acid that is naturally present in the human body. In cosmetics, it is used for its ability to influence the process of melanogenesis - the synthesis of melanin (skin pigment). Tyrosine can enhance natural skin color or accelerate tanning, which is why it is often added to self-tanners, sunscreens, and skincare products. Additionally, tyrosine is involved in skin regeneration processes, maintains its tone, and can act as an antioxidant, neutralizing free radicals.
