L-Arginine Base Powder (99.3% Pure) Amino Acid

A powerful multi-functional amino acid for advanced formulations.

L-Arginine (99.3% purity) is a naturally occurring amino acid widely used in cosmetic and personal care formulations for its conditioning, moisturizing, and revitalizing properties. This high-purity crystalline powder enhances skin hydration, improves elasticity, and supports healthy hair growth by promoting better circulation and nutrient delivery to hair follicles.

As a pH adjuster and carbomer neutralizer, L-Arginine Base also helps stabilize formulations — making it an essential ingredient for both skincare and haircare products. Its excellent water solubility ensures easy incorporation into a wide range of formulations.

Key Benefits:

• Skin Conditioning: Hydrates and softens the skin
• pH Adjusting Agent: Helps maintain formulation balance
• Supports Hair Growth: Improves scalp circulation
• Revitalizing Active: Promotes healthier skin & hair
• Highly Soluble: Easy to use in water-based systems

Applications:

• Skincare creams & serums
• Hair growth & scalp treatments
• Shampoos & conditioners
• Anti-aging formulations
• Moisturizers & lotions
• Carbomer gel neutralization

How It Works:

L-Arginine functions as an amino acid conditioner improving skin & hair texture, a circulation booster supporting nutrient delivery to hair roots, and a pH regulator stabilizing cosmetic formulations.

Recommended Usage:

• Skincare: 0.5% – 2%
• Haircare: 0.5% – 3%
• pH Adjustment / Neutralization: As required

Add during the water phase or cool-down phase. Dissolve fully in water before adding to formulation.

Formulation Tips:

• Excellent carbomer neutralizer — use in place of triethanolamine (TEA) for a cleaner INCI
• Works well with niacinamide, hyaluronic acid, and peptides

• Adjust pH carefully when using as a neutralizer — stronger base than L-Arginine HCL
