Cosmetic Grade Glycine, Amino Acid Moisturizer(CAS 56-40-6)
Cosmetic-grade L-Glycine is a high-purity natural small-molecule amino acid refined by advanced biological purification technology, known as the "basic moisturizing and soothing king" in skin care amino acids. As the simplest achiral amino acid in nature, it has ultra-small molecular weight, which can rapidly penetrate the skin surface, replenish basal moisture and form a breathable water-locking protective film on the skin surface to relieve dryness, tightness and peeling.
Different from other functional amino acids, L-Glycine has excellent pH buffering performance, which can effectively balance the acid-base value of cosmetic formulas, stabilize the formula system, reduce skin irritation caused by ingredient acid-base imbalance, and greatly improve the mildness and safety of finished products.
Meanwhile, it has mild antioxidant activity, which can scavenge excess skin free radicals, reduce oxidative damage, delay skin aging, and improve dull and rough skin texture. It can participate in the synthesis of skin collagen and elastin, enhance skin tissue toughness and elasticity, and keep skin plump and smooth.
With ultra-mild skin-friendly properties, zero irritation, low sensitization and super compatibility, it can be freely compounded with almost all cosmetic raw materials. It is an essential basic functional raw material for mild skin care, formula stabilization, moisturizing soothing and anti-aging maintenance in the cosmetic industry.
Key Benefits
