When filaggrin is degraded, urea, pyrrolidone carboxylic acid (1,2), glutamic acid and other amino acids are produced. (wikipedia.org)
These moisturizers often contain compounds found in the Natural Moisturizing Factor (NMF) like urea, lactic acid, and/or pyrrolidone carboxylic acid (PCA) . (fryface.com)
Anti-seborrheic active associated with the penetration vector L-PCA (Pyrrolidone Carboxylic Acid) ensures the optimal bioavailability of zinc. (bodyrecon.com)
The NMF is composed of hygroscopic substances that allow the corneocytes to fix water: free amino acids (40%), pyrrolidone carboxylic acid (12%), lactates (12%), urea, sugars and mineral salts. (typology.com)
Ceramides, amino acids, fatty acids, saccharides, sodium pyrrolidone carboxylic acid (PCA) and hyaluronic acid are common NMF compounds that are organically existing in the skin. (wortheecosmetics.com)
Most of the NMF in the skin is made up of Amino Acids and Pyrrolidone Carboxylic Acid (PCA) derived from glutamate, an amino acid. (snobbyface.com)
Carboxylic acids can be saturated, unsaturated, or aromatic. (lookformedical.com)
Fatty acids11
They contain a highly insoluble cornified envelope within the plasma membrane, and lipids (fatty acids, sterols and ceramides) released from lamellar bodies within the epidermis. (wikipedia.org)
The intercellular lipid domain comprises equal concentrations of free fatty acids, cholesterol, and ceramides. (keyaseth.in)
Ceramides comprise long-chain sphingoid bases linked to long-chain free fatty acids via amide bonds. (keyaseth.in)
Ceramides, cholesterol, and fatty acids are essential SC lipids. (keyaseth.in)
They are composed of long-chain sphingoid bases ( dihydrosphingosine, sphingosine, phytosphingosine or 6-hydroxy sphingosine ), which are linked to long-chain free fatty acids ( non-hydroxy fatty acids, α-hydroxy fatty acids or ester-linked ω-hydroxy fatty acids ) via amide bonds. (keyaseth.in)
Considering the chemical structure of ceramides, they are highly lipophilic compounds because the ratio of long-chain fatty acids to the hydrophilic head part is high. (keyaseth.in)
Most species of Malassezia consume fatty acids with a carbon chain length of 11 through 24. (gestaltreality.com)
Native papyrus cells boost the synthesis of lipids (free fatty acids, cholesterol, ceramides, etc.) present in the stratum corneum, the very ones that help maintain cohesion between corneocytes and thus the skin's barrier function. (typology.com)
Amino and fatty acids restore the lipid layer to prevent transepidermal moisture loss. (wortheecosmetics.com)

Stratum corneum3
Amino acids are critical natural moisturizing factors (NMF) in the stratum corneum. (snobbyface.com)
When epidermal cells die and turn into the stratum corneum, proteins in the cells are degraded to amino acids and transported to the stratum corneum. (snobbyface.com)
Scientific evidence has pointed out that the stratum corneum of patients with atopic dermatitis or skin irritation/inflammation is deficient in Amino Acids compared to healthy people. (snobbyface.com)
Glycine1
It is conjugated to GLYCINE in the liver and excreted as hippuric acid. (lookformedical.com)
Lactic Acid and urea are often used in creams specifically for eczema. (gestaltreality.com)

Glycerin1
Glycerin or hyaluronic acid are famous NMFs. (keyaseth.in)
A non-essential amino acid that is synthesized from GLUTAMIC ACID. (lookformedical.com)
Aggressors1
Amino Acids are also natural cell membrane stabilizers and as such ensure the health and vitality of skin cells against extrinsic and intrinsic aggressors. (snobbyface.com)
Hyaluronic1
This pleasantly scented body lotion with hyaluronic acid, shea butter, and black orchid extract pampers the skin with long-lasting moisture and makes the skin gorgeously soft. (janssencosmetics-lui.com)
Hydration1
Amino acid-based cleansers & soaps exert their cleansing power under pH conditions as close to the natural pH of the skin as possible thus preserving the ideal hydration level of the skin. (snobbyface.com)
Filaggrin1
It acts as a mild keratolytic agent (some of its moisturizing action is thought to come from urea's ability to break down bonds in the protein called filaggrin and thus freeing up amino acids in the skin), enhances antimicrobial peptide expression and improves skin barrier function . (incidecoder.com)
Glycolic acid1
Excellent alternative to glycolic acid for sensitive or dark skin tones. (amethystskinclinic.com)
Mandelic Acid4
Apply C+E after the Mandelic Acid serum has dried for added brightening and photoprotective effects. (amethystskinclinic.com)
Mandelic Acid targets Acne, Aging and Hyperpigmentation making it ideal for sensitive darker skin tones. (vivantskincare.com)
When skin is fully acclimated to the 3% formula, move up to 9% Mandelic Acid 3-in-1 Toner, or another of Vivant's advanced toners, to push your progress further. (vivantskincare.com)
Oxidative1
Studies have highlighted the role of Amino Acids as antioxidant that constantly prevent oxidative damages to our skin and body. (snobbyface.com)
Proteins4
It turned out in a few areas that a disinfection alone is not sufficient, since even the killed microorganisms or individual nucleic acid molecules such as DNA and RNA of the microorganisms or proteins or other residues can result in further infections directly or by increasing the infectiousness or resistance of other microorganisms. (justia.com)
Therefore, decontamination agents are used for the complete elimination of the contamination with proteins or nucleic acids. (justia.com)
It is therefore necessary in a complete disinfection and decontamination of an animated or inanimate surface to use two agents, namely, a disinfection agent for killing the microorganisms and a decontamination agent for eliminating the remaining residual contamination by nucleic acid molecules, proteins or other residues. (justia.com)
Twenty alpha-amino acids are the subunits which are polymerized to form proteins. (lookformedical.com)
Amino acid2
Amino acid-based skincare and cosmaceuticals do their job gently without causing any irritation or side effects, almost like nature is caressing your skin. (snobbyface.com)
However, amino acid-based surfactants are not likely to leave this effect. (snobbyface.com)
Alpha Lipoic Acid: Alpha-lipoic acid is considered an antioxidant. (zenmed.com)
Discoloration1
Many skin problems such as roughness, dryness, dark discoloration of the skin and aging are largely related to lack of amino acids. (snobbyface.com)
Dryness1
Urea is used in a variety of skin care products to target general skin dryness or medical conditions associated with dry or itchy skin. (jolispa.com)
Collagen3
Collagen, the dermal bolster known to keep the skin supple, actually consists of various Amino Acids. (snobbyface.com)
As Amino Acids are major components of collagen and elastin, they play a vital role in assisting skin to maintain a healthy barrier. (snobbyface.com)
Serving up Amino Acids to the skin through skincare products helps to stimulate the production of collagen and elastin, which in turn maximizes the healthy barrier function of the skin while keeping skin tone firm and improving elasticity, color and suppleness. (snobbyface.com)
Vitamins1
Rich in essential amino acids, vitamins and minerals, the native papyrus cells thus obtained have a great molecular richness which offers them a complementary action to other plant extracts (vegetable oils and essential oils). (typology.com)
Molecules1
The use of a decontamination agent ensures the efficient decontamination in that the free nucleic acid molecules are modified, denatured or degraded. (justia.com)
Urea can also help exfoliate dead skin buildup and may help target fungal infections. (jolispa.com)
While this is still important, the new well-grounded fact is that our bodies can absorb Amino Acids when applied topically to the skin. (snobbyface.com)
Being natural moisturizing factors Amino Acids act as ideal skin hydrators when employed in skincare AKA the best moisturizers. (snobbyface.com)
These factors deplete Amino Acids present in our body and when amino acids diminish, our body's natural rhythm for maintaining the skin slows down which in turn, makes our skin age even faster. (snobbyface.com)
Widely1
Up until recently, the significance and benefits of Amino Acids have been widely discussed when it comes to replenishing them in our daily diet, by consuming foods that are high in protein. (snobbyface.com)
Gently1
This decontamination solution consisting of a vitamin, a metal ion and a surface-active compound displays a good nucleic acid degradation while simultaneously gently treating the surfaces. (justia.com)
