Science

This dual-action complex operates by enhancing skin structure and moisture. The diverse amino acid component—comprising Arginine, Glutamic Acid, Isoleucine, Leucine, Lysine, Phenylalanine, Proline, Threonine, and Valine—serves as crucial precursors for fundamental skin proteins like collagen, elastin, and keratin. These amino acids are integral to the skin's Natural Moisturizing Factor (NMF), boosting hydration, aiding tissue repair, and potentially offering antioxidant protection. Specifically, Arginine promotes increased cellular turnover and collagen synthesis, while Lysine contributes to skin hydration and collagen production. Proline and Leucine are involved in minimizing the visibility of fine lines and supporting wound healing. Threonine plays a key role in the formation of collagen and elastin, and Glutamic Acid stimulates cellular regeneration and metabolic activity. Simultaneously, the Potassium Olivoyl segment, sourced from olive oil fatty acids, provides significant emollient properties, effectively minimizing transepidermal water loss (TEWL) and bolstering the skin's barrier function. It also acts as a gentle softening surfactant and emulsifying agent.

The CIR Expert Panel concluded that all α-amino acids within this complex, as well as the broader category of amino acid alkyl amides, are safe for cosmetic use when formulated to be non-irritating. The stated maximum concentration of 0.65% specifically applies to reported uses in aerosolized cosmetic products. Furthermore, the L-amino acids are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) direct food additives by the FDA.
