When nature meets science – amino acids in BRUNS body care
When we at BRUNS started working with body care, it was with the same goal as when we once formulated our first shampoos: to create products that truly make a difference. Not just on the surface, but deep down. And to do so with respect for both people and nature.
From the very beginning, we knew we wanted to highlight ingredients that are effective yet gentle. Ingredients that work with the skin rather than trying to control it. That is why our choice naturally fell on amino acids – a group of substances that in many ways form the very foundation of balanced skin.
What makes amino acids so special?
Amino acids are small but powerful building blocks. They are the basic components of proteins such as collagen and elastin – two substances that give the skin its elasticity, firmness, and structure. The skin produces these substances itself, but just like so much else in the body, it sometimes needs a helping hand. That is where external support in the form of amino acids comes in.
We have chosen to add eight different amino acids to several of our body care products. Each one has its own benefits, but together they work to improve the skin’s ability to retain moisture, strengthen the barrier, and regenerate itself. This means that the skin not only feels moisturized in the moment, but also becomes more resilient and gets help restoring its natural balance over time.
More than just moisture
The great thing about amino acids is that they can do a lot at once. They bind moisture and help the skin keep that hydrated feeling longer. They also support the skin’s own renewal process by stimulating the formation of new cells and contributing to collagen production. In addition, they act as natural antioxidants, which means they can protect the skin from damage caused by free radicals. They help calm irritation, reduce redness, and improve the skin’s resistance to external stressors.
In addition, they are unusually gentle. Amino acids are close to the body, the skin recognizes them and knows what to do with them. That is why they are especially good for you if you have sensitive, dry, or unbalanced skin that needs a little extra care.
We want to keep it simple
We believe in ingredients that do good. That feel good in the body, are beneficial in the long run, and are easy to understand. Amino acids are exactly that kind of category – scientifically proven but fully in line with our natural product philosophy.
