Carnosine - The key to youthful skin

Protection and regeneration

Carnosine, a powerful dipeptide made from beta-alanine and L-histidine, is an essential building block in modern anti-ageing skincare. With increasing age, the natural carnosine level in the skin decreases - this is precisely where this active ingredient comes in. Carnosine acts like a protective shield: it neutralizes free radicals, reduces oxidative stress and inhibits glycation, a process that hardens collagen fibers and accelerates skin ageing. Through its antioxidative and antiglycation mechanisms, carnosine helps to reduce cellular damage, thereby prolonging the viability and activity of cells - resulting in firmer and regenerated skin. It protects, regulates and supports natural repair processes.

Versatile and effective

Carnosine impresses with its versatility: it protects cells from oxidative stress, slows glycation and supports cell longevity. Moreover, it works synergistically with vitamin E, inhibits lipid oxidation and replaces classic antioxidants such as BHA. It also reduces tyrosinase activity for a brightening effect and remains stable even at 120 °C. COSMOS-approved, vegan and water-soluble (0.1 - 2 % concentration), Carnosine fits perfectly into night creams and serums.
