The details
Histidine is a semi-essential amino acid used by our bodies to create protein. It has humectant and skin conditioning properties. Our bodies use histidine to create filaggrin - filaggrin is a structural protein that the skin uses in maintaining skin barrier. One study found histidine and carnosine to be a dynamic duo for your skin: Oral histidine has also been found to help with filaggrin-deficit skin disorders such as atopic dermatitis. Why is it considered a semi-essential amino acid? This is because adults are able to create it but children must get it from their diet.
