iActive™ GABA

KimiKa, LLC (Formerly Cosphatech)

iActive™ GABA is a non-protein amino acid, due to all its benefits; it works as an ideal anti-aging agent ingredient. In cosmetics, GABA is primarily utilized for its skin-soothing and calming properties. It acts as a neurotransmitter inhibitor, reducing muscle contractions and providing a temporary smoothing effect on the skin. GABA is often incorporated into skincare products aiming to diminish the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, promoting a more relaxed and youthful complexion. There are GABA receptors on the skin surface. The inhibitory or excitability of GABA receptor controls the relaxation and tension of the expression muscles. GABA can quickly penetrate the skin and activate the GABA receptors, then the tense expression muscles are relaxed, the expression lines are stretched. It is also known to act as a wound healer. It is well-tolerated and compatible with various formulations, making it a beneficial ingredient for skincare applications.
