Valine  is the collective term for the three isomeric  amino acids valine, norvaline and isovaline. Valine belongs to the proteinogenic amino acids, that means it is a body´s-own protein element and thus is an essential amino acid. The cosmetic industry has now started to use valine as an ingredient due to its hydrating properties.

Valine helps to retain moisture which can lead to an improved skin moisture household and, thus, to a refreshed complexion.
