HISTIDINE DNA

Description

Histidine DNA is an innovative biomimetic ingredient derived from the essential amino acid histidine, designed to protect and repair both skin and hair from environmental stressors. This advanced compound mimics the natural DNA repair mechanisms found in human cells, offering a targeted approach to combat oxidative damage and UV-induced harm.

In skincare formulations, Histidine DNA works to neutralize free radicals and supports the skin's natural defense mechanisms against photoaging. It has been shown to enhance the production of antioxidant enzymes, thereby reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles caused by UV exposure. Additionally, this ingredient aids in maintaining optimal skin hydration by strengthening the skin barrier function.

For haircare applications, Histidine DNA provides protection against thermal and chemical damage. It penetrates the hair shaft, reinforcing the internal structure and improving overall hair strength and elasticity. This results in reduced breakage and split ends, while also enhancing hair's natural shine and manageability.

Clinical studies have demonstrated that products containing Histidine DNA can significantly improve skin texture and hair quality within 4-6 weeks of regular use. Its compatibility with various formulation types makes it a versatile addition to both skincare and haircare products.
