From amino acids to peptides to proteins – ACTICHEM got you covered.
Who would have thought that this unassuming amino acid has all the benefits both for skin and hair? To understand what I’m prattling about, read on.
Arginine is a semi-essential amino acid with numerous skin and hair benefits, boasting of these physiological functions:
- Nitric Oxide (NO) production
- Immune function
- Hormone regulation
- Wound healing and tissue repair
- Detoxification
So, let’s go on ahead and enumerate the wonders of Arginine:
SKIN BENEFITS:
- Hydration – assists in the generation of natural moisturizing ingredients; reduces dryness; promotes softer, smoother, more supple skin by drawing water to the skin surface and sealing it in.
- Skin barrier fortification – promotes ceramides synthesis; reduces trans-epidermal water loss.
- Collagen production – being an amino acid, Arginine is a building block of protein, which collagen is one, the main extracellular matrix (ECM) protein. Arginine is a requirement for the production of collagen in the skin.
- Anti-aging activity – by promoting collagen production, it reduces fine lines, wrinkles, loss of elasticity, and skin sagging. Protects skin from oxidative stress which causes cell damage. Improves circulation which brings essential nutrients and oxygen to the skin, promoting skin healing and renewal.
- Wound healing – Arginine is an active participant in various stages of tissue repair and regeneration
- Cell proliferation and tissue regeneration – stimulates growth of endothelial and fibroblast cells. Fibroblasts generate collagen and other ECM components.
- Anti-inflammatory
- Production of Nitric Oxide – precursor to NO formation. Nitric Oxide aids in wound healing, control of blood flow, stimulation of vasodilation, improvement of tissue repair, cell migration and signaling.
- Antioxidant properties – eliminates free radicals

HAIR AND SCALP CARE:
- Promotes hair growth – supports the production of Nitric Oxide (NO). NO dilates blood vessels and improves circulation.
- Strengthens hair
- Hair regenerative properties – repairs damaged hair; stimulates keratin production
- Maintains scalp health – improves blood flow to scalp; helps alleviate dandruff, itchiness, dermatitis.
- Reduces hair loss – strengthens hair shaft and anchors it more securely in the follicle.
Applications:
- Anti-aging products: anti-wrinkle, lifting, firming, contouring serums, creams, lotions
- Hair grower serums, shampoo, conditioner
- Leave-in conditioner, hair mask, gel, cream
