PALMITOYL GOLD OF PLEASURE AMINO ACIDS

Description

Palmitoyl Gold of Pleasure Amino Acids is an innovative ingredient derived from Camelina sativa, also known as Gold of Pleasure or False Flax. This plant-based compound combines the nourishing properties of amino acids with the conditioning effects of palmitic acid, a long-chain fatty acid.

The ingredient is created through a process of palmitoylation, where amino acids extracted from Camelina sativa seeds are bonded with palmitic acid. This results in a highly effective conditioning agent that offers multiple benefits for both skin and hair care formulations.

In skincare, Palmitoyl Gold of Pleasure Amino Acids helps to improve skin barrier function, enhance moisture retention, and promote a smoother, more supple complexion. It also possesses anti-aging properties, helping to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

For haircare applications, this ingredient provides excellent conditioning and detangling effects, leaving hair soft, manageable, and less prone to breakage. It can also help to protect hair from environmental stressors and heat damage.

Palmitoyl Gold of Pleasure Amino Acids is particularly suitable for use in leave-in treatments, serums, and intensive conditioning products for both skin and hair.
