TAURINE
Safety grade: A
Taurine is an amino acid compound that is naturally found in the human body and also occurs in some foods like meat and fish. In skincare products, it's used to help maintain the skin's natural pH balance and protect it from irritation.
As a buffering agent, taurine helps stabilize the pH of cosmetic formulations to prevent the product from becoming too acidic or alkaline, which protects the skin from irritation and maintains the product's effectiveness.
