Product Information
Name:Urocanic acid
Brand:Biosynth
Description:Urocanic acid is a naturally occurring skin protectant, which is derived from the amino acid histidine. It is predominantly found in the stratum corneum of the skin, where it plays a crucial role in photoprotection. The mode of action of urocanic acid involves the absorption of ultraviolet (UV) radiation, effectively mitigating the potential damage from UV exposure by dissipating the energy as harmless heat. This UV-filtering capability helps to preserve the structural and functional integrity of skin cells.
