Taurine is a non-essential amino acid that is found naturally in the skin. One of its functions is to help the body maintain homeostasis, the state of balance among all internal systems the body needs to work correctly.

Research also shows that because of taurine’s antioxidant abilities, topical application can help restore skin’s youthful appearance by boosting cellular energy, therefore improving the appearance of ageing skin. It can also help restore the skin’s vital moisture barrier.
