Amino Acid
Sourced from Organic botanicals. Amino acids are "the building blocks" that make up proteins. Proteins are necessary to every living cell and are involved in every major process in the body hence amino acids are essential to health. Of the roughly 28 known amino acids, 80 percent are manufactured by the body. The others, known as essential amino acids, must be obtained from the diet. Amino acids support proteins in the skin (collagen, elastin, etc.) and, used in certain combinations, help regulate oil production in the skin and scalp. Human hair is made up of 18 amino acids, which is why many quality hair care products contain them.
