Description:
Glutathione is white crystalline powder. It is actually a tripeptide made up the amino acids gamma-glutamin acid, cysteine, and glycine.
The primary biological function of glutathione is to act as a non-enzymatic reducing agent to help keep cysteine thiol side chains in reduced state on the surface of proteins.
Glutathione is also used to prevent oxidative stress in most cells and helps to trap free radicals that can damage DNA and RNA.
There is a direct correlation with the speed of aging and the reduction of glutathione concentrations in intracellular fluids.

Application in Cosmetic:

Glutathione can effectively keep the skin moist and can restrain age pigment.
It can be added into hair waving agent.
