LIGNINASE
Safety grade: A
Ligninase is an enzyme derived from fungi that breaks down lignin, a natural polymer found in plant cell walls. In skincare, it's used to help improve the effectiveness and absorption of other ingredients.
As a humectant, ligninase helps draw moisture into the skin and maintain hydration levels, while also potentially enhancing the penetration of other beneficial ingredients in cosmetic formulations.
