Are you Pro-tein?
We’re dropping some inni-lore today!
The first anyone would have heard of Beauty Green Tea was back in 2017, when it was introduced with the new formulation of the innisfree Green Tea Seed line. The wild thing about Beauty Green Tea is that it was chosen after an extensive search through 2,401 Korean green tea varieties. Today, that number is 3,301 and Beauty Green Tea continues to reign supreme.
What is Beauty Green Tea?
Beauty Green Tea is a moisturizing ingredient chosen and developed for its superior hydrating and moisturizing properties. It’s secret? Amino acids.
Putting the IN in Amino
If you’re alive, you get to interact with amino acids every day. They are the building blocks that help us build proteins in our body. Some amino acids can be produced by our bodies (non-essential) while others must be obtained another way (essential) - through food & vitamins.
Amino acids in skincare can play an important role in helping us maintain and strengthen our moisture barrier. More than that, amino acids play well with most other skincare ingredients and can be used on your skin every day making them easy to squeeze into your skincare routine.
Skincare benefits of amino acids
There are a plethora of benefits that amino acids can bring to your daily Korean skin care, but since we’re just starting out, I’m going to focus on two foundational benefits: moisturization and the reduction of inflammation.
Amino acids, especially when paired with ingredients like hyaluronic acid, act as a skin booster - giving your skin that extra oomph that’ll leave you looking dewy and fresh. If you’re looking for a foot in the door to include both of these ingredients in your routine, reach for the Green Tea Seed Serum! It contains the amino acid-rich Beauty Green Tea, as well as five different hyaluronic acids with varied molecular weights for ultimate absorption.
Amino acids can also help with reducing inflammation in the skin, so it’s a no-brainer that the Green Tea Seed Serum can help enhance that effect thanks to the presence of allantoin and panthenol, a soothing ingredient to help calm and temporarily alleviate flushed skin.
I Have Many Names
Sometimes, amino acids sneak their way into your skincare in the form of peptides. That’s right! Peptides are a type of amino acid that can help you maintain your youthful glow. If you’re interested in learning more about peptides, you can check out our last post on it here.
Building a good skincare routine is way more than just finding the best products or the most expensive face creams. You can’t just slap them on your face and cross your fingers that it will transform you overnight. It’s important to understand how the products you choose to put on your face (or in your body) are interacting with your natural assets. All you need is to unlock your potential by feeding your skin with the food it needs - just like amino acids! After all, a strong and healthy moisture barrier goes a long way.
Let’s keep building together!
