Collection: AQUAPORIN

Aquaporins are proteins that form channels in cell membranes, allowing water and small molecules like glycerol to move in and out of skin cells, which is essential for maintaining skin hydration. Aquaporin-3 (AQP3), found in the skin, helps regulate moisture levels, enhancing the skin's smoothness, elasticity, and barrier function. This not only keeps the skin hydrated and youthful-looking but also supports healing and protection against environmental damage. 

Glyceryl glucoside, a compound derived from glycerol and glucose, enhances skin hydration by activating aquaporin channels, which help skin cells retain water. It strengthens the skin barrier, soothes irritation, and supports anti-aging by reducing fine lines and wrinkles.

Dr. Peter Agre, an American physician and scientist, received a Nobel Prize for his discovery of aquaporins in 2003.
