Wheat Amino Acids is a mixture of amino acids derived from the hydrolysis of wheat gliadin or gluten proteins. The amino acid profile of wheat protein is rich in glutamic acid/glutamine, proline, and glycine — all components of the natural moisturizing factor and collagen. In cosmetics it functions as a conditioning humectant that replenishes stratum corneum amino acid content and contributes mild film-forming properties.

✓ Amino acids derived from hydrolysis of wheat protein (primarily glutamine/glutamic acid, proline, glycine) that replenish the natural moisturizing factor (NMF) components of the stratum corneum✓ Small amino acid molecules penetrate the outer layers of the skin, contributing to moisture retention and the maintenance of the cornified cell envelope✓ Film-forming properties from the peptide and amino acid mixture contribute to a smoother, more refined skin texture and reduced transepidermal water loss
⚠ Wheat-derived; individuals with wheat protein allergy should exercise caution. Extensively hydrolyzed wheat amino acids have substantially reduced allergenicity versus intact wheat protein, but topical sensitization to wheat protein has been documented in some users of hydrolyzed wheat cosmetics
