Asparagine
What Asparagine is & what it does
Asparagine is one of the standard amino acids, a building block of proteins that also occurs naturally in the skin's own moisturizing system. In cosmetics it is used as a skin-conditioning and humectant agent, helping attract and hold water for a smoother, more hydrated feel. It is water-soluble and typically included at low levels as part of amino-acid complexes. As a naturally occurring amino acid it is generally considered gentle and well tolerated.
