Description
DL-Phenylalanine, an amino acid for skin and hair care
DL-Phenylalanine is a white crystalline amino acid powder with the INCI Phenylalanine. Amino acids are building blocks of skin and hair proteins and part of the skin's natural moisturizing factor, so they are used in cosmetics for a moisturized, conditioned feel. DL-phenylalanine is the mixed form of the amino acid and is also discussed in radiance and even-tone skin care. This listing is a cosmetic grade raw material for topical products only. Buy it from a 10 g trial pack for $9.99, with bulk packs up to 1 kg; wholesale volumes are quoted on request.
Where it is used
Typical products are moisturizing creams, toners, radiance serums and hair care. Amino acids are usually added at low levels, often 0.1 to 2%, and they fit easily into water-based formulas.
Building an amino acid complex
Many brands combine several amino acids into a moisture complex. DL-Phenylalanine pairs well with L-Tyrosine and niacinamide. More amino acids and actives are in our cosmetic actives catalog.
Processing
Dissolve the powder in the water phase; gentle warming helps if it dissolves slowly. Check the final pH and store the pack closed and dry. It ships from Florida, usually within 1 to 2 business days, in the pack sizes shown above, and US shipping is free on orders of $50 or more.
