Ingredients Details
Alanine

CAS Number: 56-41-7
DESCRIPTION
What It Does: Provides nmf-type humectant moisture retention and skin conditioning.
Why It's Used: Simple, well-tolerated nmf amino acid humectant for skin conditioning formulations.
How It Works: Small methyl side chain contributes to protein hydrophobic core but as free amino acid provides direct humectant activity via amino and carboxyl groups. converted to pyruvate for cellular atp production via gluconeogenesis.
Typically Found In: Nmf moisturizers,skin conditioning products
TECHNICAL DETAILS
Primary Category: Active ingredient โ amino acid
Secondary Functions: Nmf component,cellular energy
Application Areas:
Facial Skincare
Body Care
Hair Care
Beard Care
Color Cosmetics (Makeup)
Dietary/Oral Supplements
Typical Concentration Range: 0.5%โ5%
SOURCING & ETHICS
Vegan Status: Yes โ plant-derived or synthetic
Halal Status: Yes
Source Notes: Fermentation-derived or synthetic. natural skin component.
SKIN COMPATIBILITY
Irritancy Rating: 1/5 โ very low
Comedogenicity Rating: 0/5 โ non-comedogenic
Sensitivity Concerns: Non-irritating; endogenous skin molecule.
Safe for Sensitive Skin: Yes
SAFETY & COMPATIBILITY
Safety Profile: Excellent safety profile. natural skin nmf component. ewg score: 1.
Works Well With: Hyaluronic acid,ceramides,peptides,other amino acids
Avoid Combining With: No significant incompatibilities
SCIENTIFIC NOTE
Free alanine is among the most abundant amino acids in the stratum corneum nmf, where it contributes to the aqueous phase hydration that keeps the stratum corneum flexible and functional.

Arginine
Common Name(s): L-arginine,2-amino-5-guanidinopentanoic acid
CAS Number: 74-79-3
DESCRIPTION
What It Does: Conditions skin, attracts moisture, supports wound healing, and improves microcirculation via no synthesis.
Why It's Used: Multi-functional amino acid for skin hydration, conditioning, and wound healing in peptide and nmf formulations.
How It Works: Guanidinium group binds water (humectant). substrate for nitric oxide synthase (enos) producing nitric oxide that vasodilates capillaries improving skin nutrition. stimulates fibroblast proliferation for wound healing.
Typically Found In: Anti-aging serums,wound healing products,nmf moisturizers,scalp treatments

Works Well With: Hyaluronic acid,ceramides,peptides,other amino acids
Avoid Combining With: No significant incompatibilities
SCIENTIFIC NOTE
Arginine is a conditionally essential amino acid in wound healing where local demand exceeds synthesis capacity. topical arginine provides the nos substrate locally for no-mediated vasodilation and immune cell function in healing tissue.

Glycine
Common Name(s): Aminoacetic acid,aminoethanoic acid,h-gly-oh
CAS Number: 56-40-6
DESCRIPTION
What It Does: Provides nmf amino acid skin conditioning and collagen-constituent support.
Why It's Used: The collagen amino acid โ glycine is the most abundant amino acid in collagen (every third residue in the triple helix is glycine) making topical glycine the most physiologically relevant collagen-support amino acid.
How It Works: Nmf component via zwitterionic water retention. collagen triple helix requires gly-x-y repeat where glycine's small size allows close packing. wound healing via fibroblast glutathione synthesis support. anti-inflammatory via glycine-gated chloride channel activation (inhibitory neuromodulator).
Typically Found In: Skin conditioning products,wound healing,nmf moisturisers
TECHNICAL DETAILS
Primary Category: Active ingredient โ simplest amino acid
Secondary Functions: Skin conditioning
Application Areas:
Facial Skincare
Body Care
Hair Care
Beard Care
Color Cosmetics (Makeup)
Dietary/Oral Supplements
Typical Concentration Range: 0.5%โ5%
SOURCING & ETHICS
Vegan Status: Yes โ fermentation or synthetic
Halal Status: Yes
Source Notes: Commercially produced for cosmetic use. verify vegan/halal status with supplier.
SKIN COMPATIBILITY
Irritancy Rating: 1/5 โ very low
Comedogenicity Rating: 0/5 โ non-comedogenic
Sensitivity Concerns: Well-tolerated by most skin types.
Safe for Sensitive Skin: Yes
SAFETY & COMPATIBILITY
Safety Profile: Good safety profile at recommended concentrations. ewg score: 1โ2.
Works Well With: Standard skincare actives
Avoid Combining With: No known significant incompatibilities
SCIENTIFIC NOTE
Glycine's mandatory presence at every third position in collagen's triple helix (gly-x-y repeat) arises from its unique zero side-chain structure โ only glycine is small enough to fit at the sterically restricted centre of the triple helix where the three polypeptide chains cross. no other amino acid can substitute for glycine in the collagen triple helix without disrupting the structure, making glycine irreplaceable in collagen biology.
