About this ingredient

Arginine is a semi-essential amino acid used in cosmetics primarily as a skin conditioning agent and humectant. It helps improve skin hydration, supports the skin barrier function, and is often included in anti-aging and firming formulations due to its role in collagen synthesis and blood flow promotion.
