Sodium Cocoyl Amino Acids

Science & Benefits

Sodium Cocoyl Amino Acids is a lipo-amino acid complex that combines essential amino acids (proline) with minerals (magnesium, potassium). It is specifically engineered to treat 'stressed' skin by suppressing the visible signs of inflammation caused by UV exposure or chemical irritants. In the context of acne, it helps reduce the 'heat' and stinging associated with a compromised barrier. As a humectant, it provides deep conditioning and restores comfort to the epidermis. It is entirely non-comedogenic and serves as a vital soothing agent that allows acne patients to tolerate more aggressive treatments like Retinoids or AHAs.
