Gaba also known as γ-Aminobutyric Acid (GABA), a non-protein amino acid naturally present in the body. Gaba is produced by lactobacillus fermentation, has a purity higher than 98%, and is ECOCERT. Gaba is an anti-aging ingredient with the following benefits:

  1. Reduce wrinkles and smooth skin.
    Gaba can quickly penetrate into the skin, relaxing tense muscles to reduce small wrinkles and lines. Results showed that after applying cream containing Gaba continually for 1 week, fine lines disappear, the average depth of wrinkles are reduced, and skin elasticity is increased to reveal younger, fresher looking skin.
  2. Repair the damaged skin.
    In epidermis, Gaba can improve cuticle barriers function because it can promote the epidermal cell proliferation and synthesis of involucrin and glutathione. As a consequence, Gaba can reduce skin roughness caused by external factors such as drying, radiation and pollution. 3.4 mg/L of Gaba increases the production of epidermal cells up to 1.4 times respect to control.
  3. Promote the synthesis of HA and collagen.
    In dermis, Gaba can promote the fibroblasts proliferation and the synthesis of HA and collagen, thus improving skin moisture and elasticity, making the skin smooth and tight. 1μg/mL of Gaba can increase more than 2-fold HA secretion from dermal fibroblasts.
