Science
Mechanism of Action
The strategically incorporated palmitoyl group significantly increases the ingredient's oil solubility and improves the skin penetration of the core amino acids. These millet-derived amino acids are expected to contribute directly to skin conditioning. The broader profile of millet, rich in essential amino acids, polyphenols, and antioxidants, suggests a potential for antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activity within the skin.

Safety Profile
The Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) Expert Panel concluded that amino acid alkyl amides, including this ingredient, are safe in current cosmetic uses and concentrations, provided formulations are non-irritating. While alpha-amino acids are recognized as Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS) by the FDA for direct food additives, specific FDA status for its cosmetic use was not found.
