ALPHA LIPOIC ACID
INCI: Alpha Lipoic acid
What is Alpha Lipoic acid?
ALA-Alpha Lipoic acid is considered as potent universal antioxidant. The reason behind that is it is miscible in both water and oil phases. Our body is a live factory which produces ALA throughout our life at the cellular level, but as we age, we produce lesser and lesser of it. It activates certain processes which help our body’s tiniest engine mitochondria to work faster.
Use & Benefits:
It has a good penetration power in the skin through the cell membrane; it fights free radicals and helps damaged skin heal. It helps skin heal inside out.

Thus, makes skin supple and soft. It also has anti-inflammatory properties, so it reduces redness and itchiness of the skin.
