Arginine

INCI: Arginine · L-Arginine
Strengthens hairHydratesSupports repair

An amino acid that supports hair strength and hydration, a small building block that helps repair-focused formulas work.

What it is

Arginine is an amino acid, and amino acids are the building blocks of the keratin that hair is made from. In haircare it supports the fibre's strength and moisture and complements larger repair proteins; in skincare it also acts as a gentle humectant and osmolyte.

How it works

Supports the fibre

As a keratin building block it helps support the strength and condition of hair, working alongside hydrolysed proteins in repair systems.

Hydrates

It attracts and helps retain moisture, improving softness and manageability.

The evidence

Arginine is well established as a supportive amino acid in both hair and skin care, valued for strength support and hydration.

Works well with

Works within Tricelleon alongside Hydrolysed Keratin and Silk Protein.

Who it's for

Dry, damaged or breakage-prone hair; also gentle on skin.

Worth knowing

A small building-block ingredient that supports the larger repair proteins rather than acting alone.
